My brother just bought SP AWN542, I adjusted my water level four years ago, I just wanted a quick refresher course.....Turn the screw clockwise? Am I correct? How many complete turns of the screw? I did research this but I did not like the youtube video, and the old links were not very helpful. I need to be told what to do! Sorry, I"m old school!

Water level

Exerpt from the Rayteon built SQ and Amana service manuals I've got:

"Maximum water fill level can be increased by turning adjusting screw CLOCKWISE and decreased by turning screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE.

One quarter turn of the adjusting screw represents approximately one inch (25.4mm) increase or decrease of water level in washtub. (I found it to be less)

IMPORTANT:DO NOT turn adjusting screw more than 3/4 of a turn in either direction as the switch may be damage and flooding could result."
