![]() Model Number: wfw8300sw05 Brand: Whirlpool Age: Less than 1 year
![]() I found the water level switch. It appears to have 5 adjustment screws. I would like ti raise the water level for the wash and 1 rinse cycle. Related Models |

![]() The water level switch is not adjustable. The machine like almost all front loaders is designed to automatically allow the correct level of water into the cycle. If you want to control water you will need a water level adjustable top loader.

![]() I will be honest with you, I do not know, have never had the issue come up before because the folks who buy these are interested in using less water, not more.
Don't recommend it, but if you decide to play around with it, less us know what you find out.

![]() I know, but here's the story. I went from a top loader to front because they do a better job (owned 4 laundromats) but, I reuse washer water to flush toilets and am not generating enough water. Besides, the laundry splashing through water works better than just splushing wet laundry around. Did you know they splush? Thx

![]() Well interesting, I assume you have your washer drain hooked into a toilet tank in some manner. You may well be the only person who wants their front loader to use more rather than less water.
I accept the fact that front loaders do a better job of cleaning, but in my opinion the difference is not sufficiently great to justify the expense of a front loader. Many of us techs do not recommend them because 1. They use microprocessor controls. Microprocessor controls hate moisture, heat and vibration, and a washer has . . . 2. The axis is perpendicular to the weight, resulting in support issues. 3. Mildew is not your friend, and its not even a houseplant. 4. The motor is DC, which means some more unreliable electronics to convert AC to DC. 5. Parts are very expense and diagnosis is usually "Keep replacing parts until the thing works". Well, as I said, if you fool around with it let us know what happens.

![]() I respectfully disagree with the assertion that Dave is the only one to want more water instead of less water in his front-load washer.
Dave, google it. If you still have trouble, PM me and I WILL assist you. It sure as Heck is NOT the governments' place to tell my wife how much water she can use from MY well. The consumers are, rightfully, pissed. The senators, congress people, etc all have maids to wash their clothes, so they do not have to wonder why their clothes are not as clean anymore. Most all of their clothes are dry-clean only. I wasted around $600.00 on a new washer to find out the clothes get wet and set on top of each other in a pile and never separate, hence, liquid detergent only. I could still smell the sweat on my clothes. I tossed the new washer out the back door, got a lightning damaged front-loader in, repaired it, adjusted the fill switch, and my clothes are now at least better than with that piece of crap new washer. I recommend all of my customers to keep their old washers repaired because of government intervention. JMO... Joe |

![]() With the help of my son (what would we do without them?) I found how to increase the water level (adjust the switch) and it now works properly. This has not brought about the end of the world as some suggested and I have yet to flood the neighborhood because of the high water level.
