Whirlpool Cabrio Washer WTW6400SW3 OL Error Code

Hi all... DIYer here and would love some guidance.  I have a Whirlpool Cabrio Washer (WTW6400SW3) with an OL Error Code during normal cycle.  I'm struggling to figure out what is wrong with it.  Below are steps ALREADY performed (with Empty Washer - no load) and other symptoms:

  • Gets OL Error code (70) on Manual Diagnostics
  • Finishes Automatic Diagnostics without errors
  • Runs "Rinse & Spin" cycle without errors.  Machine seems to exhibit stronger shimmy/shake when the drain pump is running; without drain pump running, runs pretty smoothly.  Drain pump does have a decent loud hum/buzz.  
  • Checked stator - has no cracks

Found indications to check stator (done) and otherwise replace balancing shocks (not done yet).  Doesn't seem like there's much to the shocks (just springs?) but I guess these could go bad?

I've put a lot of effort into this puppy with multiple repairs over the years... and so far have kept it running!!   Would love to continue to do so, as I now understand pretty well how it works.

(Prior repairs:  New electronics board, replaced the stator and rps, replaced the hub, replaced the drive and bearings.
