Maytag Top Loader MVWB850YG1



Hi Guys - appreciate any help you can provide.

Service history of the washer:
-Bought in Spring 2013
-Jan 2022 - Could not get through spin cycle without the Unbalanced Load error - I had the oil/grease on the floor, spin cycle sounded like a jet airplane, so I replaced the main bearings, seals, main shaft. At that time I also purchased a replacement set of aftermarket suspension rods figuring I would replace them at the same time even though there appeared to be nothing wrong with them when I pulled them out.
-Fixed worked great, no issues, until:

Issue:
-Wednesday this week, a load of laundry (normal size and quantity) could not get through the spin cycle without the Unbalanced Load error. Rearranged the load multiple times, still wouldn't get past about the 10 min left on the Normal cycle (medium spin) every time.
-Took some heavier items out, still wouldn't get past spin cycle without UL erroring out.
-Unplugged washer, tried to get through using rinse/spin cycle only setting on dial, still failed
-Took everything out and ran a spin cycle empty - still failed for Unbalanced Load error

What's happening during the spin cycle:
-It is not making the same loud high pitch whine it did when the main seals/bearings failed earlier this year. It's sounds as quiet as it usually does.
-Tub is not banging around the cabinet - to me, it looks like it should not be tripping a UL error as it, for the most part, stays centered in the unit, but does have some wobble to it.
-I replaced the suspension rods with Genuine OEM ones today - no change

Looking for any help advice I can get - my first thought is another bearing problem? But without the noise, does that make sense? Or a bad UL sensor (if that is even a thing?)

Thanks in advance!
