Is there a way to adjust the water level higher on this machine? I have it at a lake cottage with a pump from the lake so perhaps the timing is not in sync with the low water pressure?
The water pressure should not matter, the machine will fill until it's reached the appropriate water level, fast or slow. Only older solid tub toploaders filled with via time fill, nowadays all machines use pressure switches to tell when the washer is full of water, it can fill in 5 seconds or 15 minutes. Either way it will fill to the same level before advancing the timer.
Not necessarily true Pulsator - some basic FL machines have used a timed fill rather than pressure. Not sure which Haier machine this is, but it could be using that.
It realy looks like chinese crap. They start selling them even here in europe for under 270 USD. I believe it won't last long. Their cars are sold here too but at crashtests they break as easy as a dry buisquit...I hope that won't happen to your washer...
