Variable Water Level Control
The washer is equipped with a variable water level
pressure switch (located inside the control hood)
which allows the owner to adjust the water fill level
height in the washtub from 254.0, 279.4 or 330.2 mm
(10, 11 or 13 inches).
IMPORTANT: If the 25.4 cm (10 inch) water
conservation setting is selected, washing
performance and machine reliability may be
reduced.
When the washer leaves the factory, the pressure
switch is set for approximately 279.4 mm (11 inches)
of water.
To adjust the pressure switch, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the two control panel attaching screws
and lift the assembly up and out of the slots in the
cabinet top.
2. Lay the control panel face down (on protective
padding) on top of the washer.
3. Rotate the cam on the pressure switch clockwise
to lower the water fill height, or
counterclockwise to raise the height. Refer to
Figure 49.
IMPORTANT: The cam has three settings. The
setting on the left raises water level to 254.0 mm
(10 inches). Middle setting raises water level to
279.4 mm (11 inches). The setting on the right
raises water level to 330.2 mm (13 inches).
4. Carefully reinstall the control panel.
5. Reconnect the electrical power to the washer.
6. Run the washer through a cycle and observe the
water fill level.
