Have you cleaned your machine lately? They make an in wash boost- it gets rid of the extra suds built up inside the machine that you cant see but your machine detects it and causes faults such as that. Also, there is a small wire on the control board that may need replaced if it keeps kicking the error code.

Could be that the 'spider' mount for the drum is broken and the drum is catching on the surrounding plastic outer drum.

I surely wish I had good news, but most likely you will have to find & pay someone to completely dis-assemble the washer to do this. If you lived in my area of Florida, I would send you to an older man who knows all there is to know about Kenmore (Whirlpool) washers, and he could tell you if is possible. Do you have anyone in your area who you could ask? Specifically, someone who is older, experienced, and works out of their garage, or small workshop. God bless your efforts.

yes

the drain turns on its good. might have something in the tub blocking water into the pump

SOUNDS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE A WORN OUT DRAIN PUMP, YOU WILL HAVE TO OPEN IT TO DO A VISUAL CHECK ON IT,

its because there is water trapped in between the drum and water containment drum , this is a common thing on front loaders and there are many commercial cleansers to clean it , but the best I have found is a heavy dose of bleach (no clothes) and run a hot wash cycle if you have the ability to see water that is pumped out , you will see what comes out of this space I spoke of doing this .

It's the motor coupling -- a $15 part

Have you put too much washing in....pushing against the door mechanism??? Reduce the amount of washing...see if that works..

A prewash is exactly that a wash that takes plaxce before the main wash cycle for heavily soiled clothes, you can use the same detergent as you do for main wash. I do not think that I have ever used prewash.Hope this helps
