If you shake the top around can you hear a couple of the legs tapping the floor?

Sounds physical. Could also be one of the shock absorbers has come adrift or failed giving similar symptoms.

That is not to say that the drum is not out of balance. Try running it empty and see if it happens.

sd is suds error. add only HE soap. UL is unbalanced load. watch load size and balancing loads.

I have a kenmore elite oasis top loading washer about 3 years old. I took it apart and checked the springs and the rods and the plastic ends that hold the rods in place and all of them look fine. I run an empty load in the washer and it still goes unbalanced on the spin cycle. My water bill has tripled due to the fact that every load takes 3 to 4 washings. I need help please!

Could be belt uneven load/ suspension legs or loose counterweight...Lump of concrete....on top..not spinning could be out of balance load.....hope this is some help

UL = uneven load.

Re-distribute clothes and re-try.

If still no-go... the load balance sensor is likely to blame.

Out of Balance
Rebalance the load. What is in the load of wash? Something thick and heavy? Maybe too few items. It probably can't be balanced. Open the door after pausing and reaarange the load a bit and try again.

If you have a whirlpool built machine th problem is probably the agitator dogs. They are located inside the agitator. My guess since you say it doesn't fully agitate. If changing the dogs does bot fix the problem then the coupler is probably bad and that connects the motor to the agitator.
