Jeff & Tom pointed out to me I flubbed the original instructions for tweaking your SQ washers! So after going back and trying to read what I posted even I got confused. So here are the corrected easy instructions for upping your water levels and throwing out your warranties!!
There are only TWO adjustments you need concern yourself with. The important thing to remember is that both MUST be equal. If you turn one IN one turn you MUST turn the other one IN one turn. Turns: 2 turns in = up to bottom of glass door 2 1/2 turns = 3 times the original factory setting =ample water IMHO.
So here is the photo, use the BLACK screw as your reference when viewing your water switch. Note both screws are on opposite sides of the connector bar.

I fill mine much higher on the glass for rinsing, but it is a manual operation. Jon, your video is paired with a really cute video of Loki the cat being fascinated by the human servant's flushing of the toilet. You Tube is so educational. |

you could open/close the door quickly- but all that water will fall out.
Gansky you will be GONE to the MART before I'm through with you!
Mike- the fins on the drum are solid sided not perforated and so I just saw that that creates a real lifting action to the water and picks it up and sloshes it over the top of the load as it tumbles. With the big window door you can see this, with Gansky's tiny porthole machine this is lost to history!

Interesting video.
In another thread water levels were discussed. Conclusion was that a too high water level in the wash would result in worse cleaning results because laundry has to tumble, not roll over in the wash. Higher water levels are good for rinsing, roll over is good enough for rinsing. Does this machine have different water levels for washing and rinsing? And does it have a higher water level in the delicate cycle? |

Louis, this is a SQ, not a Miele! No difference in water levels for washing & rinsing. |

I have had many delicate items and draw strings get caught at the end of these fins. They do not go all the way the the sides if the drum. Only complaint and no water level adj. |

a little bit last night. Now when the water pools between rotations sequences, it just touches the glass.
Ran a load of dog blankets through last night with no extra rinse selected. The big difference? No dog hair left inside the tub. Not sure if I will leave the water at this level or not. Will need to run a weeks worth of washing through and guage the results. Malcolm |

How exactly do you get at the pressure sensor anyway? I wonder if its any different between a rear control and a front control machine. How many turns did you use? |

In the Speed Queen Imperials, the pressure switch is in the rear of the top of the machine. Not at the front where the controls are located. I imagine they are in a very near location to the read controlled models.
I think total, it is probably 2 complete turns in. Should know by Saturday afternoon if I will leave it at the level or back it off a half a turn or so. Malcolm |
