 Some models now may have pressure switches without adjustment screws ... or the pressure sensor may be on the motherboard and also non-adjustable. Searching *41100* at SearsPartsDirect returns 22 items ranging from washers to stoves, freezers, a TV, fireplace, etc. The model apparently is 417.41100000, it's sourced from Electrolux and the pressure switch is listed as a Frigidaire-brand item. :-) | ||

Use the washer for a few months with the factory-set water level and see what you think of the results. If rinsing is a concern, add the extra rinse option to your cycle. For years I lowered the water level on my WCI-made (branded as Frigidaire, Westinghouse, and Gibson) front-loaders and found cleaning actually improved.
As has been mentioned, it's human nature to want to see a lot of water splashing around, but I get excellent results from my 2010 Frigidaire front-loader which uses very little water. Hope you enjoy your new washer! I'm a big advocate for modern front-loaders. They clean well, spin fast to reduce time in the dryer, and are very energy and water efficient. | ||

 Of all the newer model front loading washers I have had, the only ones that had a regulating screw to increase the water level were the older Frigidaires, Whirlpool and KitchenAids.The L Gs are imposible to fill with more water because they automaticaly drain after a certain level is reached which isn't that much more. The others allow you to add more either by sticking a hose in the dispenser tray and watching the window until the level is where you want it to be or by finding the screw to turn and increase the watr level I now have a Whirlpool Duet that does bave the adjustible screw and it also has a fresh feature that tumbles the load until you take it out. I found it at Smith's in the trash pile. It needed a new door switch and now works great. In fact, it is one of mh favorite models and I'm not that big of a Whirlpool fanforwashers and dryers. | ||
