Sears Kenmore Elite Oasis Top Loading Washing Machine will not spin
Sears Kenmore Elite. Replaced Shaft & Shock absorbers several months ago & cleaned. Then worked perfectly for several months. Very smooth compared to other washers over last 50 years we have had. Other than a very slight (nothing) clunk about every 5 seconds like clock work. Washes beautifully. Drains perfectly fine. Tub rotates & goes up & down manually. But when it comes to spin, after just a few seconds like clockwork gets UL error, even though it is spinning as smoothly as ever. What could be wrong with this thing?

@mayer This is getting ridiculous. I have responded five times now & the computer keeps claiming I am spam. It looks like the computer must have deleted my response I sent to you about an hour ago or so & again a few minutes ago & then again. It keeps claiming I am spam. Don't get me started. Here it is yet again. Sears Kenmore Elite Oasis Model #110.28032701
I am going to try just putting my response to you here, rather than responding directly to you. I hope you receive it in good order.

Hi @dorry
Yes sometimes the iRobot thinks that a long string of numbers is spam e.g. a phone number perhaps.
I don't know why as it seems to be random in this regard. Sometimes yes other times no
Just verifying that when you replaced the shaft, did you replace the bearings as well?

@jayeff No problem, don't get me started, especially as you all needed those numbers understandably.
Please pardon me for leaving out that important detail. Yes, when I replaced the shaft & shock absorbers several months ago, we replaced the bearings too as part of the shaft operation. The machine started running much smoother again & still runs very smooth, no shaking, etc. But will not spin & keeps thinking washer is Un-Level. Believe me, it is not. I & others have checked for levelness every which way but loose, but it still shuts down when time to do the final spin.

@jayeff Thank you again for all your help, I really appreciate it. Well, I finally got to take a closer look at it & hopefully I have it repaired, at least for now. It felt like the bolt with the 1/4" Allen head at the very bottom with the Nylon fitted washer that holds what I believe is a rotor or stator cover, was loose. The hard, fitted nylon washer was also split. I don't know how you would get a new washer to fit back over that thing, at least while it is cold & it looks like Sears & Roebuck no longer have the part & cannot refer me to anyone. I just went ahead & put it back on for now & lubricated it with some plumbers lube to not damage it any more. I then put it back on & tightened it up a bit more. Now the washer spins & completes the cycle, so that is good & I should not complain. However, it does seem to shake much more than before now, though, which seems odd. I am not sure what to say about that. I better just keep my mouth shut since it now works. Thank you again for all your help.
