I am at my wits end. I have a GE GTW460ASJ washing machine that will not stop failing a wash cycle due to an imbalanced load
I replaced the suspension rods, I made sure its level, I took it apart and inspected all components, belts, pump, vacuum line, etc.
I ran the diag, only shows unbalanced load error. everything else seems to be working.
It does not have a balance weight, but it will always go out of balance and end the wash cycle. I cant wash more than a few items of laundry at a time. Even if I place all the items in carefully and manually spin the drum to ensure its not wobbling, it will still go out of balance during the wash.
It usually ends up wrangling and knotting my cloths during the wash creating lobs of wet balled up clothing that causes it to go out of balance.
I have reviewed all available parts on this washer and dont see anything else that could be replaced or serviced.
What else could this be?

buy a new washing machine and while you're at it get a front loader that doesn't tear giant holes in your tshirts

insufficient water to clothes ratio?
water is a lubricate, low flow was a bad idea.

Cracked frame/rotor? Or bad main bearing? Those are common causes of imbalance on other front loaders.
Its never just the dampers.

Appliance repair is fucked. I can barely wrap my head around how poorly new products are designed and their fail-point computer monitoring.They sell busted appliances for $10-20 at area hardware stores. It'd be better business to resell those for parts online than to try to fix them.

Getting the diagnostic mode to start up is impossible.
