does anyone know how to adjust the fill height on these?

ever since I bought my whirlpool super capacity washer in 1999, it has never
filled quite high enough for my taste.

I seem to get better washing results by manually adding 2 more gallons of
water after it fills, which raises the water level a couple of inches

It would be nice if there is a way to adjust this, so that I do not have to
manually add the 2 gallons each time.

not sure what the whirlpool engineers were thinking by cutting the highest
level back by 2 gallons, since my way gives better results, probably some
marketing expert made them lower the final water level, trying to boost the
"lower water consumption" numbers for advertising.

Hi,

Model#?

How high is the highest water level now?...top row of holes, less?

The water level control has an adjustment screw on it, but damage can
occur to the WLC and you could get bad results like overfilling and
flooding.
