Hello everyone, I recently acquired this washer and love the simplicity for my home. One thing I’d like to see is if it is possible to reduce the water fill line for this machine. I’ve seen other variants of this machine have more knobs and owners adjusting the water level with a socket behind the control panel. I was wondering if this screw exist for my variant and is it possible to reduce the amount of water used?

Thank you !

If you look at the control panel of the posters machine, you'll see that there is no water level selector switch at all, so the YouTube video does not apply in his (or my) situation.

I have an exact same machine as the poster, however mine is a SQ variant, there is no 1/4" hex head adjustment screw whatsoever on the switch.

This is what the water level switch on our machines looks like, I would like to raise the drum water fill level instead of lowering it.

I believe there are adjustment screws in those ports with red sealer on them.  The trick is knowing which to adjust.  Pressure switches have more operational parameters than just the fill level cut-off, adjusting the wrong one can cause unexpected behavior and/or problems.

Concur, I've read that in addition to cutting power to the water fill solenoid, the switch also initiates the drive motor to run.
There is another thread on this forum about adjusting this switch, however it applies to a front load machine, I suspect that the procedure would be the same as a top loader
The thread did mention to adjust (2) points on the switch exactly the same amounts, lest a possible machine water overflow event occur.
I really do admire the overall performance of it, however I would like it to fill with more water for optimum laundering.
