No, you cannot add water manually to a top-load automatic washing machine. Top-load automatic washing machines are designed to automatically regulate the water level based on the selected wash cycle and the size of the load. These machines typically have water level sensors that determine the appropriate amount of water required for the specific load.
When you start a wash cycle, the washing machine will automatically fill the tub with the necessary amount of water. Some models may allow you to adjust the water level manually within certain limits using the machine's control panel, but you should refer to the user manual for instructions specific to your washing machine.
It's important to let the washing machine handle the water filling process to ensure proper operation and avoid any potential damage.
