i tried filling it manually, using a garden hose.
did not turn on the washer.
after a few minutes, the washer turned itself on and drained/spun out all the water.
PatriceJ, we bought a high end Samsung and ended up calling the repair man twice because of water levels. I told him that I had been adding extra water with a hose and he said not a good idea as it can ruin the machine's system. He also suggested an old Maytag works better than any new machine. He said the machine's water level is what the government now allows.
