This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will
not be completely under water. The washer senses load sizes and
adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See “What’s
New under the Lid.”
IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added water
lifts the load off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning.
Washer won’t run or fill,
