Ok...although it worked out well for me with my washer, looking back on the 'operation' I'd suggest one thing for sure--MAKE SURE you only use a slot head (flat head) screwdriver in the regulator piece which is perfectly the right size, and do as my husband said at the end of this video....start by turning it clockwise a full turn or two, then turn it COUNTERCLOCKWISE until it breaks the lock-tite seal, and THEN turn it clockwise until it goes down a few turns.
It's not as complicated as it sounds, but DO use the right size screwdriver to do it, as the screw is made of some kind of soft pot metal, and will round out very easily, if you use the wrong size.

I DID have to PRY the top off. There are 4 plastic pieces that hold it on in 4 places. So I actually took a screwdriver and pried and POP...it opened. I turned it and the water is now like yours...filling to about 1/4 on the glass in "normal" and pressing the "extra water" button now lets it fill to almost the halfway mark. It was nice to see DIRTY water for a change. And with more water, it seems to go into spin easier...not having to try 5 or 6 times! So THANKS. The internet is wonderful!!!!!

@dant2590 Oh MAN!! I am SO THRILLED for you!! Many of us are thrilled now with our once despised washers!! I'm so glad that you joined the club!! How did you find turning the screw to be?? No problem??

[ywmpg]

@ywmpg I don't think that I have the 'extra water' button. Extra RINSE, yes---but no 'extra water.'

I actually have a LG machine, but I'm told the Samsung and LG are the same machines. I haven't been able to get the top off! Anyone have any suggestions? I took the 4 screws off, but wasn't able to pull it off. Did you pry it off with a screwdriver?? Just give me some help and I'll see if I can get some water in my LG!

[ywmpg]

@dant2590 Wow!! If I remember correctly, I think it just lifted off!! I'd try to pry it up Dant.

You MIGHT have an extra screw or two (since it doesn't actually SAY that it's a Samsung.) Maybe that's the diff. between the two!!  hehe.... Maybe use a mirror to view the back of the top to see?? You NEED more WATER!! You'll LOVE your machine afterwards!! Just be REAL CAREFUL with the screw--it's a soft pot metal. Really watch the end of my video--it will really help!! Keep me updated!

I did this with my WF220ANW the other day. I'm not getting the same amount of water, but it's definitely much more than I did before. I can now see it, but nowhere near half way on the glass. Thanks a billion for this. I'm going to Tonystone's video and replying too.

@drdoct Hi Dr. Doct!! Mine doesn't even go a quarter of the way up, but it has a LOT more water!! I've learned from the European's who've commented here (they've had front loaders FOREVER!) that the more water you have--the more of a GENTLE cycle it is. So, I'm happy with just little more water--it really still has the 'slap on the rocks' cleaning effect going. NOW it cleans good. I'm so glad it worked out good for you too!!

These sugestions are very troubling. Please don't do this to your washer. That water level switch is very complicated. It reads a lot more than just the water level,also the blue part she pulled out is designed to regulate water flow not the amount of water. Without it ,it could flood her house.

The screw on the LG was a phillips screw and turned very easily. For anyone with a WM2701HV, it is located at the back of the washer [looking at it from the front] and on the left all the way in the back. It's hard to see because of the brace that goes down the side of the machine. Mine says WATER PLUS and is a button all the way at the bottom. I pressed it EVERY TIME and it put in less water than what I have on normal now. It seems to add about 2" of water.I can say I LIKE the washer [1st time]

@podenco2 Thanks so much for your lovely comments. I'm SO glad you liked my video--that was a raw 'reality' show with me there, eh?? Would you consider it a 'gentle' cycle now, as another said it was??

[podenco2]

@ywmpg

You made my day :-) I had so much fun watching your video. I owned front loading machines myself always (25 years now) and even when I still lived with my parents we had one. It's normal that they use little water (for us in Europe) and when used properly they do clean well ;)

Glad however you were able to change the water intake so that it better suits you!
