Jet, I already put everything back together. Maybe Westy can post a pic of the top of the WLS.

My added volume mod has failed. It worked fine for several weeks, then without warning started over-filling. After removing the added mod, I removed the WLS and dissected it. I found that by simply turning the threaded cap on top clockwise, increasing spring pressure on the diaphram, the...

Westy, do you have an online source for a service or training manual for the WM2501? Thanks!

Westy, my WM2501 does not have a "custom" button? Humm...

Sorry for redundant post I did not know these videos have been posted here already.

Amazing what some do for entertainment.

Final dimensions Your welcome Jet. After some testing, I ended up with a 2"X58" PVC tube to achieve the water level I want. Works fine with all wash cycles as well as the rinse/spin only cycle.

I have never seen 4 bars, even with large towels full of water added for weight.

Westy, post 53 was copied and pasted from CR'S web site, its not my statement. I posted it to help us understand how they rate repair stats with adjustments for age.

What do we mean by eliminating differences solely due to age and usage? The published repair index reflects a statistical standardization that controls for the effects of age (and usually) usage on failure rates. We have found that the percent of models that have ever failed generally increases...

Copied from Consumer Reports.org For top-loaders, Roper was one of the more reliable brands and Fisher & Paykel among the more repair-prone brands. LG was the most reliable front-loader brand. That's what we found when we asked over 104,000 readers who bought a clothes washer between 2006 and...

****With a "fake off/hack/mod" like faking off (too much) the Water Level sensor, I wonder if it can get the computer in a bind in the other cycles. ie it running the pump(s) when it still thinks the tub is full and it is way down? Good point Westy. I will watch the behavior during different...

The cover comes off in 1 minute, just remove 2 screws and slide it back and up. I'm an auto technician, and had a laugh when someone here posted that these fl's are hard to work on....Really? these are nothing compaired to working on modern day cars. Even if the spider goes bad in 5 years, I...

I agree with everything you said westy. I was reluctant to solder in a resister or any other electrical hack as this "mechanical only" mod is easily removed in the event of a warranty repair. And,I mounted the chamber externally so its easy to fine tune the water level to where I want it...

LG provided a perfect size hole to exit the hose outside.

The extra volume

More pics The tee

A 64 ounce container is working good so far. At least now some water is visable during the wash cycle. Will post pics of this "hack" soon.

Post 3 states the sensor is digital. So far this mod is working, just need to finalize the chamber size, then make one using PVC for reliability, and mounted inside. The setup seen in the pic is just for testing.
