Wheres the water level knob?

[catmeowpurr]

@southernexposurefied Doesn't have one, it senses the amount of clothes (based on water absorbtion rate) and sets water level automatically.

Ya call that clunka clunka clunka, thindg a washing machine? There is no turnover, the clothes just sit there, they dont move, the whole purpose of agitation is to move the clothes through the water

[catmeowpurr]

@deltaboy767 Yeah, I agree, it's a lousy machine.

How did you keep lid open while washing? I know most cases, lid must be closed while washing.

[catmeowpurr]

@pricefan87 You have to take off the control panel and bypass the lid switch.

What you have in there can easily be used with the regular speed, so long as you don't overload it. Overall though, you should have went with a model that had a water level knob.

And how much did you spend for this piece of crap made by Whirlpool? Yeah, Whirlpool. Clothes aren't moving, gettin' torn to shreds at the bottom, incorrect water level Arc isn't wide enough .Pffft please. A 1972 model works better than this.

the clothes only really move when you have it on Heavy Duty or Super Wash.. the agitator moves with much more action.. overall can be rough on your clothes.. best way to use these machines is not to overload them.. if you do it will shred your clothes it washes best with a medium load...!!

I did lid switch bypass, easy, UNPLUG, then you can feel the switch on the left rear underside of the top of the machine, I yanked out, cut wires and wire nutted em together... works ok now.

@catmeowpurr Exactly How do you bypass the lid switch?
