“1. How full/high does the water get on washer's Bulky setting? Is it a full load of water, within 3-5 inches of the basket top? 2. How many inches does the "Deep Fill" button add? Is it only 3 gallons (which is only an inch or so of water)?”

Hello there, I just purchased this machine and recently washed some blankets and sheets together. The water definitely gets high enough to cover and wash a big load. So far, the "sensor" is "doing the right thing" with every load I've washed so far. However, if you are going to do a load of blankets and sheets, you will have to minimize how much you put in. I had to separate the sheets from the blankets because I got that awful knocking noise on the spin cycle. Once I removed the sheets, everything was fine on the spin cycle. I was surprised at this because my old washing machine (Calibro) was excellent at handling big loads. So, I hope this information helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi - Thank you for reaching out to us. The water level of our washers is not measured in "inches in the basket". The average water usage for this washer per cycle is 19.7 gallons of water. Pressing the Deep Fill button one time will add approximately 3 gallons of water. Pressing and holding the Deep Fill button will allow the washer to fill with the maximum amount of which is 26 gallons. This is also the amount of water used in the Bulky cycle. Your clothing or washable items will absorb most if not all of the water. In most all cases, you will no longer see excess or extra water sitting above the level of the clothes. These water saving design changes began several years ago as dictated by the Department of Energy and have proven to not be detrimental to good wash performance. We hope this helps. Vikki@GEA
