@Becky - Mine overfills on a small load and dry washes the rest of my laundry because it only puts a small amount of water in it. I have been bucketing water in but I think I will switch to the garden hose. It's brand new and never washes/fills the same way twice. I hate this machine.

What exactly does soil level control on MY washing machine- only wash length or agitation or both? What is the wash time difference between the settings on the machine? Are there more than one agitation setting? Is it only difference in setting the speed of the spin cycle? How long is the wash time on the different settings? What is the difference between the settings?
