Automatic load recognition on the W3048 weighs the drum and adjusts water and cycle length to match, which is efficient when it works and mystifying when it drifts. A machine that suddenly starts using far more or far less water than usual, across every program, is pointing at that system rather than at the fill valve. Confirming it takes a test cycle with a known load, which is a straightforward diagnostic step.
