fill level you should get to the second or third level of holes without raising the water level. I raised mine to the first row of holes. | ||

New SQ Top Load Washer Yay, I am sure you will enjoy these machines, as a SQ dealer I think you will find the water level very good as it comes from from the factory, I end up turning up the WL in only about 1 in 10 machines we deliver and install. The hot setting is all hot, but when set on warm 70% comes from the cold side and only 30% comes from the hot side, so unless your hot water is really hot or your cold water is not too cold you may find the warm setting gives you a cooler wash temperature than you like, this can be dealt with if you like. | ||

I have only added water to mine a few times. You may find it is not necessary. | ||

Plus a nice new 4-prong outlet to replace the old three prong version ( I never understood why they installed a 3-prong anyway since they used 4-conductor cable !!!)

Inside of dryer.... I love the fact that clothes do not get stuck between the baffles and the fron or rear of the drum like they did in the Frigidaire... Speed Queen was smart enough to angle the ends of the baffles...

I believe they mean that the stainless steel tub will last the life of the machine. No tub rusting there. And SQ used to advertise that the more you use your Speed Queen the softer the surface of the wash basket will be. | ||

Raising the water level in a new SQ TL washer You should have no problem with leaks by doing what you have done.
To raise the top you first remove the two screws at the bottom of the front panel and lift it away and off the washer, then you will see two more screws at the top that hold the washer top to the sides of the cabinet, once these are removed the top can be lifted [ it is hinged at the rear of the washer ]
Hope you enjoy your new washer, I feel that it is a much studier and better performing machine than the WCI-Frigidaire you had before, John. | ||
