Had the same problem with unbalance error code. The machines stoped before going to high rpms. I did as somene suggested here and made sure that the hose was not to tight in the pipe so that air could not pass. Fixed the hose so there was air to pass and problem solved . Thanks Suresh! ????

SOURCE: Machine not spinning due to uneven load balance although clothes are loaded evenly initially
I suggest you stick to the maximum load capacity (or less) of the machine; and not over-load the machine with clothes.

Sounds like your front to back spring is pulling to tight, sometimes you need to replace it and sometimes you can take it off and stretch it. hope this helps

I think my set i just got today used is a 3 speed.Seems to be alright for now.There is a thing i was told called a harmonic balance it might be off or messed up.Tina.A(nc)
SOURCE: spin cycle is off balance washing machine is
i dont believe it is the agitator per say. Assuming this problem has just started and doesnt have transportation bolts still attatched. Two conditions cause the imballance. 1)(if unit is a top loader) Check if all 4 shock absorber springs are well lubricated and not sticking. 2)A more involved problem which often happens, Underneath the washer, is the drive motor. on the motor, is a round pulley. this pulley needs to come off and strip further until you see a long spring. If it is not broken, clean it up using a solvent and a rag. reassemble and test. (if spring is defective, it will slip instead of grip on a spin cycle.

A very common call I get on Whirlpool built direct
drive washers, and one of very few problems they have, is that the machine
vibrates like it's out of balance when spinning even without any clothes
in the basket. Sometimes it'll walk across the floor if this is allowed
to worsen.The cause is nearly always support pads. The
entire mechanism rests on these three small plastic pads, and when they
wear even a little bit, the machine will vibrate like crazy in spin, like
its load is badly out of balance. Replacing these pads (part 285744, around 10 for the set will nearly always correct this problem. And they aren't
hard to replace if you re just a little handy Here s how Unplug the washer. Remove the 2 Phillips screws that retain the
console. On some machines, these are hidden under console end caps that
must be pried off. On newer models they re on the back of the console
Rotate the console fwd then up and back it will hang back out of the way
if the washer s away from the wall far enough.Unplug the white lid switch plug and pry up the 2 large clips that
hold the cabinet to the washer back panel.Tilt the entire cabinet forward and it ll unhook from the retainers
on the base. Lift the cabinet off and set aside (not as heavy as it sounds With the cabinet off you ll see 3 large horizontal springs, one in
each corner of the support 'tripod and one smaller, vertical one in the
left-rear that counterbalances the motor's weight. Unhook all 4 of these springs and insert a small
piece of 1 by (5 8 or 3 4 thick) board to prop the mechanism
up, to access the pads one at a time. Insert the piece of wood
between pad locations, on a side of the support triangle a
helper's handy here Use a little lighter fluid to clean the mating
surface of the support plate that these pads ride against before inserting each
new one. Be careful not to scratch the support plate when working under
it it needs to be smooth and contaminate-free. Knock the old pads out one at a time, by
lightly tapping on their mounting pins from underneath with a hammer. Put
each new pad in place in its mounting holes, carefully remove the wooden
'shim then stand up and push down ******* the tub on that corner. You ll
hear and feel the pad snap into its mounting holes.Repeat this process for each of the other
two pads mounted on the support tripod' (do the rear, 'fun' one
last after you have experience replacing the other two and your
washer will behave a whole lot better in the spin cycle. And if you have any trouble finding these support
pads locally, let me know. I keep lots of them in stock. You can order a
set here Oh, and remember to reach around and pat yourself on the back! You
just saved yourself at least 100.00
