I just purchased a Admiral Top Load washer Model #ATW4675YQ and I noticed it DOES NOT fill for the rinse cycle. Is this normal? It puts a VERY small amount of water in the tub and then drains. Why is that? It doesn't have a fabric softener dispenser so I use the Downy ball and it never activates the ball so no softener in clothes. This is very frustrating!!

Answers & Comments
Well after reviewing this model on home depot website, (out of everyone thats takin the time to leave reviews on the website - ) 65 people gave it one star, some of those people wanting to give it zero stars, some peole, within the first few comments I read stated an issue with not much water, and all of them (so far out of the 65) have reported nothing but problems.
you may try this (this is direct copy and paste from what someone said)
I have had problems from day one. It often starts in the rinse cycle and doesn't get clothes clean. Customer report says you have to unplug it so it can reset so it'll start with fill, wash & THEN rinse. It also makes an ungodly amount of noise and sounds like someone kicking a trash can.
sorry for your problems
What you failed to say wade dunlap is that 82%of customers recommend this product 812 of 988review, also from what I read on home depots site was because the washer is Energy Efficiency it does not put a lot of water in the tub like the older machines. No I dont own one yet going to get it today and will test it out myself,from what I have read about this washer' there are way more satisfied people that recommend this washer then dissatisfied.
This is from the maytag the maker of your washer.The washer is sensing the load size and finding the optimal amount of water to use for the specific load. As to not overfill, the washer will fill with some water, let it saturate the clothing, then add as needed. Even though you are selecting the load size, the washer is also determine that the load stays balanced as well during this time
