Run the hottest & fullest cycle possible - without a load - and add a grease remover - like goo-gone. Fatty tissues build up inside the tub - and can be released on hot cycles if HOT wasn't used very often.
It is recommended to run a HOT load every 2 weeks or so to avoid these buildups and staining of clothes.

Honestly it could be a few things, and some of them very technical in detail to the point honestly I would call a proffesional in on it. Its possible the timer may have a short in it and its running ahead of its self. Its also possible that the water level switch is starting to go and gives the machine the go ahead to start washing. It could also be the water valve sticking and therefore the machine is operating normally but the valve continues to fill .And the list goers on and on. Unless your real familiar with that specific model thats one I would leave to the pro's. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_4570d45317834dd3
The original manual has a troubleshooting guide that has this for the ob code:
"Off Balance Is the load unbalanced? Redistribute the load. Cloase lid and press START. "
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
(no promises but try this!)
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motorfilter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT. It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

The F2 error code on your microwave oven is a membrane failure. It is recommended that you replace the membrane first & if you still have problems to replace the control board.
