Not really plumbing but it's pretty quiet here at the moment so I'll bite:
Based on my own machine, the number of top-up fills seems to depend on type/weight of clothes to be washed. The machine will initially fill to the set level, which is surprising low – only a couple of cm above the lowest point in the drum except on the 'delicate' cycles. It then churns the clothes a couple of times, which soaks up some of the water, and then does a short top-up fill to restore the level. It repeats this process until the clothes are saturated so no more water is needed.
Bosch WMs have quite a lot of diagnostics built in. If there is a problem with the water supply/pressure it will display an error code.

Even with no clothes in the machine there will be two "fills", one (in a Zanussi) fills for ~ 10 secs directly into the drum to wet the clothes, the second, for ~ 2 minutes fills through the wash powder/liquid container, it will then, depending on the wash load, do a few more 5 or 10 sec top ups to get the normal level.
