I can't seem to be able to control the fill water level. No matter what level I choose, it fills above the highest level. I set it on lowest level and it fills to the highest level or above. 745G Model LAT5005AAW

This is caused by a faulty water level switch. It is a diaphragm-like device that has a small clear plastic tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level increases, so does the pressure on the air in the plastic tube and when it reaches a certain level, it activates the switch to turn off the water and signals the timer to start the appropriate cycle. Check for any obstructions in or damage to the plastic tube. The switch can be tested using a multimeter or ohmmeter. Check for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty switch. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Not sure if normal or something wrong but i put it on large load and it only fills about a third of the way if that is this normal

top loader --- there is a small plastic hose that runs from the bottom of the tub up to the level control switch at the panel
the filling water pushes air up that tube until the trapped air pressurizes enough to overcome the water level setting and switches that switch
if it already has water in ti it will activate the switch too early
pull the switch off one end and blow the water back out
re attach and set the level and turn on the water

How do I increase water level?

The water level is controlled by the water level switch. If set to the highest fill level----thats all you get. The government has interfered with manufacturers to try and conserve water so very few of the new machines fill as high as they use to. There use to be a factory set screw on the water level switch for factory adjustments only but if you play with it wrong, you may end up flooding the basement with an over fill problem.

Moffat washer

Your water level has a reset on the panel? You need to drain all the water out of the tub and turn the water level to the lowest setting. Now start the fill and watch the water come up. It may be that it needs to be looked at but it is just a hose on the side of the tub that fills and air pressure registers in the control panel that stops the water filling.

Water will not stop filling machine

Your fill switch is bad and needs to be replaced. To test, set the water level to it's lowest setting. Let the machine fill. If the water fills the tub 3/4 of the way, your switch is indeed bad.

The basket gets off center. So when it fills, the water spills out the back of the washer. What can I do to get it centered again?

The water level pressuresensor is faulty and so the washer fills up beyond the limit.Due to the overload the washer gets out of control.So set the water level to the lowest level to see if its cut off.If not replace.

Water draining as it is filling the drum

The drain hose is not high enough and it is siphoning the water out. Get the highest point of the drain hose above the water level in the washer.

Water level won't fill past the lowest setting.

you may need to replace the level selector switch itself... if it has a reset option ( usually near the large side of the button, w/it plugged in, turn the switch all the way to reset, unplug the machine and then plug it back in. ) this has been known to work on occasion....hope this helps

Washer does not fill

many new machines use what we would only describe as hardly any water, does it do the job properly, if so then fine leave it as is,

this is calculated by computer so that the lowest level of water is used to do the job, hence the lowest amount of electric is used to warm it up, (a bit like filling the kettle to the top for one cup of coffee,its a waste)

its not what we see that matters, its what it does, after all we don't generally sit and watch it do we?
