Is there a way to manually add more water to the wash? This machine often doesn't rinse well enough, the water level is too low. Is there any way to manually increase the water level? Is there any HE machine where it can be done?
Thanks

This machine has an extra rinse cycle option, if you feel the need to use it. I've never had a problem with it rinsing well enough. Maybe changing detergents would help? I use liquid Tide w/ Bleach, and have no issues.

We found that wetting some or all the clothes first fools the machine into thinking your load is bigger than it is. You get more water in both wash and rinse as it must do a weighing of some sort at the start and work from there. We discovered this by accident but then used it to our advantage on loads of jeans, for example.

There is not a manual way of doing it with this machine. GE is the only brand that currently offers an HE washing machine where you can manually set the load size like our old school machines.

I don't think you can add water unless you dump it in from a bucket - but then you might confuse the sensors. A better option might be to select a cycle that has a second rinse.

Answer

The WA50F9A6DSW and other Samsung HE Washing Machines use automatic weight sensors to determine how much water to add to each cycle based on the settings and options selected. Running the Calibration Mode after installing the Washer may help to improve the performance of the sensors. Please refer to page 6 of the User Manual for instructions on running this mode.

There is no manual control for the water level; however, selecting options like AquaJet Deep Clean and Extra Rinse will maximize the amount of water used for particular loads. It's also important to use only the recommended amount of HE detergent to prevent over-sudsing and enable the clothes to rinse thoroughly.
