I think the machine is trying to calculate how much water it needs, so dumps water in then spins it around to see if there's enough based on your load size. I would let it do it's job and when it starts the wash cycle, take a look through the glass top and see if there seems to be way too much water in the tub. Mine does the same thing but seems to be measuring the necessary amount of water, not wasting water.

The WA5451, like other high efficiency (HE) top load washers, is not designed to submerge clothes in a full tub of water like conventional top loaders do, but rather to circulate the clothes through the water and the water back over the clothes. The stainless steel pulsator creates a "blossoming" action as it tumbles the clothes throughout the wash cycle, and the recirculating pump takes the water from the bottom of the drum and circulates it back over the top of the clothes. This process enables the HE washers to use far less water in most cycles compared to their non-HE counterparts, though the cycle selected and the built-in weight sensors actually determine how much water is needed. If you canceled the cycle after only a couple of minutes, it's likely that this process was interrupted. I would suggest running another cycle, and allowing it to run its course. To help ensure your washer is using the right amount of water, check the inlet hose screens on the back of the washer for blockage, and make sure the hoses are not bent or kinked, the water valves are turned on all the way, and your home's water pressure is at the recommended 20-116 psi. - Ms. Samsung
