Hello all, I have an LG Top Load Washer that always terminates the spin cycle with a "UE" code. The spin cycle will initiate, and once the timer counts down to around 10 minutes it will add more time and start filling the tub with water. This is presumably the way it tries to rectify an unbalanced load. At no point during the cycle does it display a "uE" code to indicate that there was an unbalanced load. After three phases of adding time and water, it will finally stop the spin cycle by chiming with a "UE" code. This makings washing times exceedingly long as well as is a huge waste of water.
There are no abnormal sounds during operation (no grinding noises, bearing failure, leaks, etc). The washer seems to pump down just fine (it drains down the entire tub during a bulky load cycle).
I have attempted to troubleshoot this problem by doing the following:

I have attempted to troubleshoot this problem by doing the following:
- Balance the machine with a level, using the seams between the casing and lid as reference points, as is the protocol in the LG installation manual.
- Replace the suspension rods. The old ones were noticeably weaker, but not wrecked.
- Replace the Hall sensor/rotor position sensor.
- Replace the control board
- Run the unit on tub clean with no load
- Run the unit on Spin/Rinse with no load
- Run the unit at various spin speeds
