Mah 6500 spins but leaves som water in tub. if you

Does it spin if you turn to spin cycle?
Try this:
Jam lid switch with something plastic or wood.
Put on spin cycle.
Spin the tub by hand.

If the bowl then starts spinning properly, your problem is the motor starting capacitor.

Check the inter tub ring you should hear water when you spin it by hand
if you dont hear water replace the spin tub balnce ring it must be cracked or has a hole in it and leaked out the fluid this is a counter balancer when it gows into the spin cycle

You most likely are not hearing water remaining in the tub. You are hearing the water slosh around in the balance ring that is attached to the spin basket. There is a balance ring attached to the spin basket that is half filled with water. When the basket is turned by hand you will hear the water in the balance ring. This is normal.

remove the water pump from the motor but not from the hoses and start the washer. if it starts then you have a sock or something caught inside the pump holding the motor. remove the object or replace the pump if needed. if the motor wont start then unplug the washer,remove the motor and turn by hand. if it feels hard replace motor. if it moves then leave motor out and move the gear case where the motor connects by hand. if it wont move then 2 things may happen. 1)gear case lockup or a piece of clothing caught between the tubs.

if the washer agitates but wont spin with the humming sound then I say the later. a piece of clothing caught between the tubs.

Sounds like timer needs replacing

The pump cannot completely drain all the water out of washers. There will be some water left in the bottom of the tub that you can't see but here slosh around if you move the basket. If your clothes are not wet, this is probably normal.

the transmission may have been damaged during the runaway.to much movement can cause it harm that is why they come with a shipping rod in them.

If you can move the tub by hand laterally - the rear main bearing has likely failed - or the drum rollers are worn.

spin the drum with hand to hear any noise from the bearings on the back of the drum, the drum should turn freely with no grating noise.

SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN COUPLER, YOU WILL FIND THIS BETWEEN MOTOR & TRANSMISSION.
