The water level in the drum seems low.
The water level is lower than in a top-load washer.
Let's find out more.
Front-load and top-load washers use different washing mechanisms, resulting in different water levels.
Front-load washers use gravity to tumble the laundry, cleaning clothes by lifting and dropping them through the water. The drum only fills partially with water to facilitate this tumbling action.
Unlike top-load washers that fully submerge the laundry, front-load washers use less water.
Front-load washers are designed for energy efficiency, using minimal water for washing and rinsing. They also sense the load size and adjust the water level accordingly.
You may not see a high water level, but this is normal and does not affect cleaning performance. Front-load washers achieve the same cleaning performance as top-load washers with less water.
