A while ago water level knob got hard to turn to the right, but would still fill to correct level. Now knob turns easily to the left, but very hard to turn back to the right. On extra large load, machine will fill half way. If I stand there and hold the knob between large/extra large load, more water will come in. Whatever the knob is placed on, it doesn't fill to correct level.
