If the water level seems too low, or if the washer does not fill completely, auto-sensing helps stabilize the amount of water used. The washer senses the size of the load and adds the correct amount of water for the load size. You may notice during a cycle that the wash load is not completely submerged in water.

The load sensing valve (L.S.V.) serves the purpose of automatically adapting the brake pressure and therefore the brake force according to the load of the vehicle.

Load-sensing describes a type of variable pump control used in open circuits. It is also termed this because the load-induced pressure downstream of an orifice is sensed and pump flow is adjusted to maintain a constant pressure drop (and therefore flow) across the orifice.

3 Answers. Done right ASAP-If the “sensing /fill” is the only light on and it’s flashing then the cycle has paused. Push the PAUSE button once and the light should be on but not flashing and the cycle should continue within about 10 min depending on water pressure. You could have a slow fill.

A semi-automatic washing machine contains two tubs, one for washing and the other for drying. Manually water can be poured to the desired level based on the cloths to be washed.

Most LG top load washers have a “Water Plus” button that will allow you to increase the water level of the load. Under normal operation, this feature won’t be necessary.

If you are having troubles with the water level in your machine, adjust the water level switch.

1. Unplug the unit from the wall.
2. Remove the screws from the control panel.
3. Find the back of the water level switch.
4. Remove the screws from the back of the machine and pull off the back panel.

Front-loaders, HE top-loaders, and some newer agitator washers rely on a load-sensing feature to adjust the amount of water, based on the weight of the load. You can boost water use with a heavy-soil setting; heavy-duty cycle; bulky-items cycle; extra-rinse option; fabric-softener option; or deep-fill option.

Because they use less water, they use less energy to heat the water — just 20 to 50% of the energy used by traditional washers, making them energy efficient. Less water and energy = environmentally friendly and budget friendly. They spin faster to remove more water from clothes, so clothes need less time in the dryer.

If you would like the machine to automatically sense the appropriate water level for the load size and type, turn the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting. If you would like to add the maximum amount of water to your wash cycle, turn the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting.

We recommend trying to match water levels and load size as closely as possible. Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. Using too much water can result in poor washing performance due to lower detergent ratio.

How do you adjust the water level on a Maytag washer?

1. Determine your knob setting.
2. Turn the pre-selector knob to one of these five settings: extra small, small, medium, large or extra large.
3. Turn the infinite selector knob to extra small, small, medium, large, extra large or any point in between these levels.

Water Level Switch Function The water level switch sends power from the timer control to the water inlet valve and the temperature switch each time the tub needs to be filled during a wash cycle. The switch then signals the motor to begin agitating.

The general rule of thumb with them is to fill the drum about 80% of the way. It’s ok to pack the clothes in there within that 80%, but just don’t go overboard.

By placing your hand into your machine’s drum, you can see how much space is left. Perfect is if you can fit nothing else in the drum, just your hand and your wash. If you can’t get your hand into the drum, then it’s overloaded. That isn’t the only way of overloading, though.

Front-loading washing machines can use up to 70% less water than the same size top loader. That’s because they’re able to wash clothes by picking them up and dropping them into the wash water repeatedly, unlike top loaders which wash clothes by having them float around in water.

Front-loaders are the most water efficient followed by HE top-loaders and agitator top-loaders. Five ways to save: Replace your old washer. Energy Star washing machines use about 40 percent less water than a regular washer.

Delicate Wash Cycle

A quick wash uses less water, up to 30%* on average, meaning you can care for your clothes and the environment at the same time. Quick washes are also better for your washing machine, reducing their running time and helping to care for them for longer. Quick washes are also better for your clothes.
