I've noticed that after washing, the clothes seem rough/stiff as though the soap hasn't been rinsed out properly, . Although water seems to be coming through via the soap dispenser alright, the water level in the drum appears very low (actually only sufficient to soak the clothes with little to spare). The washing machine, a Hoover Nextra6, is 3 years old and otherwise in very good condition.

Sorry i don't know your model, does it have hot and cold going in the back, or just cold?.
It is cold fill only. (The Instructions refer to 'Optima Wash system')

Yes, same as others, short water fill, less water, less heating? less powder, so they say. don.t agree with the cold water only though.
I think I've resolved the problem. Some of the holes (There are about 30) that the water comes through into the soap dispenser were clogged. This appeared to limit the amount of water getting through to the drum. It's definitely better since we gave it a brush but we intend pulling the machine out, taking the top of and giving it a good clean from the otherside.
