Is the water supply pressure connected to the washing machine too high?

➔ Please half close the faucet that is connected to the water supply hose.

When the water pressure of the faucet connected to the washing machine is high, water may splash and drip onto the top of the detergent dispenser.
Then, after the washing is done, that water drips into the detergent dispenser.
In such a case, slightly close the faucet that is connected to the water supply hose.
