Hi all,

I have had my new Kenmore Elite 40512 for about 2 months or so now and I've notice something rather unusual. I wash on the normal cycle and I never see water pooling at the bottom of the tub during the cycle. I always wondered whether it is using enough water to do a proper wash.

In the last couple of days, I've noticed that the water level the machine use for the same normal cycle has increased. I can now see the water pooling at the bottom of the tub and it actually touches the bottom of the door. What is going on? I've been alternating between Kirkland Ultra Detergent (powder) and Ecos. I've also started using Full Circle fabric softener (all natural). Am I imagining things?
