My washer will only fill up about halfway even when the largest load size is selected unless I stand there and hold the water level selector knob in between the large and extra large steeings until it has filled to the proper level After the wash cycle completes, I must stand there and hold the knob between settings to get the proper level of water This takes so long because the washer only allows cold water to fill the alternates for the hot water--back and forth until it fills. This is the first washer I have ever owned that does not blend the hot and cold water to get warm water while filling up Im not sure if i need to replace the water level switch part number AP4567129 and the clip that holds it in place OR the water inlet valve part AP3175369.
Has anyone else had this to happen ? What should I do? The washer cleans just fine otherwise but it is really frustrating to always have to hang around the laundry room waiting for the rinse cycle

Your washer has a ATC (automatic temperature control)system. It does cycle the fill valves during the wash cycle fill. The target temperatures( in the tub) are: cold fill 70 to 80 dgrs, warm fill 90 to 100 dgrs , and hot fill 110dgrs. And the rinse water is only cold fill on all settings. As for the tub only filling half way, Check the water level switch air tube for kinks, and sediment in the tube, you can usually blow in the end of the tube at the water level switch, and clear any debris. If you still have a fill problem, then replace the water level switch Part number: AP4567129

Joe, Thanks so much for your reply to my post After performing the checks you posted I believe the problem is in the water level switch since it is extremely hard to turn from level to level

The stiff adjustment, would be a good indication of a bad switch. Good Luck, :) :) :)
