Yes, I'm not sure why they can't fill more water but you're right, there still a good layer of water it could fit in the tub.
I notice though there is an hole in the agitator neck and he measure the water level with his finger to do not exceed it...
I can see this hole is never reached in all the other videos as well so I can just guess it is a level to do not exceed probably because it would be dangerous for the shaft not being completely water-proof.
I can't see any level line in the washtub though......
Even the odd, "lazy", angel wing model have an hole, the other model in this last video, the Theliautomatic, got filled with slightly more water than the one of first video but I can see hole is not reached as well....
I guess this is for the reason I mentioned.
I just wonder why the hole was made....
Well but unless I know it wrongly water cannot reach that high in an agitator if does not have an hole/vent, so it would have been better to do not make it if shaft wasn't water proof .....so why make it?
I was guessing that they made it probably because the agitator(s) had a pressing interlocking to the shaft, and so too much air inside would have made it raise up....
If so would have been a pretty stupid/easy thing to improve/fix though....
Hi Carl! How are you?
Yes it is a quite interesting video, I always wonder if the uploader is a member here, I'd have some questions about this machine.....
Don't know why but I'm not able to post comments on his videos.....
Here is a video of the same guy, he also owns a Miele Combinette (twin tub) along with countless appliances he owns, it shows how the shaft of these machines is made...
Looks like the agitator is simply by pressed interlocking, no bolts and no twisting mechanism, just pushed and interlocked....
So our theory is correct.
