Great, thank you! They have installed it, but apparently the new washer drains faster than my old one and overflows the drain. I'll have to fix that before I can experiment... | ||

Yup that switch does look different mine has a metal shell. But you nailed it and it should be just fine with the setting you did. Don't you just love the old school mechanical things in there there are easily replaced and don't cost a paycheck? | ||

No, that is actually not possible. The plastic collar is fixed to the stainless tub, there is no gap for anything to slip between the inner and outer baskets. If you look at Post#834657 you can see what I am talking about. | ||

I have SQ AWN432. Personally, I would was a couple of loads before changing the level so you can see how it is with different types of clothing. IMO, if it was changed, I would have it at the second hole. | ||

Yes, it does have the Eco cycle. See the attached pic.

Turning the screw will do the trick. By how much will require some play, but try 1 and half turns at first and see how it works. Be gentle and make sure the srew driver is straight, those plastic parts are a lot less forgiving.
Also, can you post a pic of the tech sheet/wiring diagram in the council? That would be awesome, I might get this model before its finally phased out. | ||

This is the exact same machine I have. My machine did not come with a tech sheet/wiring diagram. | ||

Tech sheet
The tech sheet is usually in the control panel. (Gusherb's 7th post in the beginning of the thread)

Adjusting The WL On A New SQ TL Washer The current machines [ both the AWN432 and the two electronic models ] Have a much higher water level and do not and should not have the WL raised, yes the higher you set it the greater chance you will have a small item of clothing go over the plastic rim and do a lot of damage to the washer.
Three weeks ago I ran a call on a SQ TL washer [ less than a month old ] where a table napkin went over the tub and jammed the wash basket from turning, the main drive belt heated up and melted the main drive pulley, also melted the pump drive and of coarse destroyed the belt. Total cost almost $200 and NOT covered by the warranty as the customer admitted he had turned up the WL. | ||

Adjusting The WL On A New SQ TL Washer With the introduction of the new TL washers with the Eco-Normal Cycle SQ raised the WL to the previous levels. That said you can raise it even more, I have never seen a TL washer going back 50 years that you couldn't raise the WL an inch or so, BUT keep in mind mechanical WL controls are not very accurate and if you get close to the limit you may have problems. | ||

Water level
Assuming this machine is made like my 3 year earlier Speed Queen the water level can safely go up to the point where the metal tub ends and the plastic begins. Some would call that extreme, but in so far I have not had a single problem with that. The way I see it its up to you, but I do agree filling up to the 4th row of holes is kind of low.
When all is open take pics, I'm curious if your machine has any electronics (it sounds like the Eco cycle has an ATS fill) | ||

Will do. I don't remember seeing any, but I was paying more attention to the fill switch. It did have a ziplock bag with what I assume to be a wiring diagram. I can get pics of that too. | ||

Thanks! :)
Wiring diagram is in the Zip lock bag. A quick tip, before closing everything fill the tub up with water just to verify its not to much or to little. Mine took two tries to get it where I wanted.
If curious mine looked like this:

Water level
Almost forgot this. This is the water level on my machine set to high. Might be a tad hard to see but the water goes all they up to where the metal tub ends:
