OL error means the Motor Controller has sensed an Overload.
The oL code means the motor control board is struggling to power the motor up. If it recurs after removing some clothes - usually this means a new motor control.... or worse - a new bearing.
If it were a problem with the tub floating up, the unit would spin instead of nutate.
Bearing failure in this machine is very common.
I suspect the drive shaft and bearing are the problem. The bearing and shaft are part of the outer tub.
I have a top load Kenmore Gold Catalyst Cleaning Action washer that is stuck on permanent press mode. The digital display reads 8 min. and will not turn off or clear.When it is turned on the, the timer goes to 37 minutes and beeps repeatedly through all cycles. It will not clear even when I unplug it. How do I fix this annoying thing!!? Thoughts please.

The new outer tub with bearing W10128830 cost approximately $197 dollars.
If you can get access to the shaft it may be an Emory cloth will help smooth things down so that you no longer get the OL code.
This is an ambitious do-it-yourself project... as most appliance repairmen don't understand how this machine operates.
