Hello Michael. There is no adjustment. The water level should be close to the bottom of the glass. On some cycles you will get more water into the unit. If the level is to low, replace the pressure switch.

Leo,

We would need to have the model number to be able to assist properly but in most cases you will want to check the door lock assembly. The door lock has an spin enable switch that may not be making and the unit may not be spinning.

Jordan,

At the bottom of the unit there is a cover there. You will want to remove the 3 screws that would kinda be under the lip of the front and remove the panel. This will give you access to the drain pump to check the filter.

David for Model Number LHW0050PQ1

My washer will not drain. I drained it through the drain hose easily, not the coin trap in front, so I don't think there is a clog. I then opened the pump and set washer to spin cycle and the impeller spun. The washer would not drain when I reassembled the pump and tried a rinse cycle. I noticed that the pump became pretty hot, I assume this was because no water was being moved, thus not cooling it. Does this mean that the pump is failing even though it is still spinning? Do I need to check the pressure switch & if so, how would I test it? Thank you for your time. David

1 Answer

Hello David. The impeller can turn and still be bad. If under pressure, if it does not drain, then the drain pump is bad on the unit.
