This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Adding extra water during wash cycle
- The problem
- The washing machine was being paused mid-cycle so extra water could be added by jug through the drawer area. No actual machine fault, error code or performance failure was described.
- Likely cause
- No appliance defect was evidenced. The discussion indicates the user believed the machine needed more water, but modern washing machines are designed to use low water levels.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was not to pause the machine to add water. If extra water is still being added, it should be poured into the soap dispenser without stopping the machine. The thread does not document any repair because no fault was identified.
- Checks to try
- Engineer had already advised not to pause the machine and add water by jug
- Accepted reply stated modern machines use very little water by design

If he wants to add more water all he has to do is pour it into the soap dispenser. No need to stop the machine. Has he said why he thinks he needs to do it? Washing machines are designed to use very little water these days. They shower the laundry with water using a recycling pump or they lift and sprinkle water using the drum paddles.
