Kind of a gross washer in the video, but this guy is doing it differently from the method I tried which I will post a link to below and that original method did not work for me very well at all and I gave up. I actually came across this accidentally. I don't think this is for modern Duet's or Kenmore FL washers, I think it's for the ones made in the mid 2000s. The water level in his is perfect and what I always tried to get, but I never could. Not sure if I'm going to try this though.

I had a kenmore HE3 (sister to the HE3t). I never had a problem with it NOT cleaning the clothes. And yes, He needs to clean up his machine.

Thanks. I've never seen that vid. Yes, that's the method I tried but I didn't take the pressure switch OFF the machine. I just stood besides it and carefully put a screwdriver in and turned (but with the machine unplugged) The problem I had is I would turn in very small amounts and the water level would stay the same, after a few very small turns, suddenly the washer would fill up WAY to high! It was either all or nothing. So I just put it back and left it alone. I can't understand how these people are turning the screw over two full turns and it only filling up a little more - yet when I turned it a very little a few times, maybe 1/2 rotation, total, I got halfway up the glass full which I did not want......
I have never had stinky towels or laundry with this Duet. However, I would like to have the water level raised just slightly. When I did this adjustment (in the past) I stood beside the washer without taking the pressure switch off and had to hold a flashlight down holding my head down and carefully locating the screw (NOT EASY) and turning it to (MY LEFT) since I was standing beside the washer looking in, which would mean I was actually turning the screw to the right. So should I try this guy's method turning both the top middle and the bottom? | ||

- back when I was messing with the water level, at one point I thought I had it perfect. It was weird because I ran a full cycle on whitest whites and the water level was just touching the boot. Not to little, not too much. It was perfect. But without touching anything, the very next load I did, the water level went way to high. I was like "HUH?????" That's when I tried to get things back to the original and I haven't messed with it since. I was bummed out too because I had it perfect. The level of water where it's just touching the boot is perfect in these machines. Any more than that is too much. I can't understand why anyone would want the overkill of water going 3/4 up the door. That can't be good for the machine and it's certainly NOT going to be very effective at washing.
