Hello
If a Customer notices that the unit is filling with more water than necessary to wash the load size.
Customer may call it overflowing, leaving the impression that the unit is filling with water to the
point of overflowing onto the floor, when in fact it does not overflow, but simply has more fill than
the customer anticipated. Most likely the customer has interrupted the fill cycle to observe the Auto Load Sensing feature or to add an item of clothing, etc. to the load.
See the the service liks below . The unit is operating as it is designed.
In a properly operating washer, the Auto Load Sensing cycle MUST go through a sequence to
evaluate how many clothes are in the load, to attain the proper water fill level. The Auto Load
Sensing sequence will first fill to a low water level. Then it will agitate for about 10 seconds and
pause, to monitor the water absorption rate of any clothing not wet from the low water level. It will
then, if necessary, fill to the appropriate water level before beginning the wash agitation cycle.
If the Auto Load Sensing cycle is interrupted by lifting the lid during the fill cycle it will cause
the unit to revert to its default setting – a full fill. It defaults to the high water level to protect the
clothing from being agitated with too low of a water level. Advise the customer that the unit is operating as it is designed; to protect the customers’ clothes and that interrupting this first fill sequence will cause the unit to default to the high water level.
