You need to know if your machine is band driven(older model) or gear driven(newer model). Google model to find out or look it up in manual if you have it.
If older model the rubber belt is broken and needs to be replaced OR if newer model the gear that turns the drum is burned out and needs to be replaced. Either way, it best to have a service tech come out and fix it. The rubber band might be old and hard to find & if gear & motor are gone may be too expensive to fix, cheaper to buy another unit.

Washer does not fill with water but motor continues to turns drum

Yes the drum will always spin when filling it is called stirring, however, you will find you need to replace the (I assume) cold inlet valve, or you could put the cold hose on the hot valve and do a hot wash, this means it would fill with cold water, however some machines do have a sensor for sensing water temp, if this is so the machine will beep, and it may take some time to fill. :)

Drum is filling with water after each wash

There is only 2 possibilities for the drum to fill with water after it has finished.
Firstly, if the empty pipe is connected to the sink outlet pipe, the water can syphon back into the washer if the pipe is too low, thereby slowly filling the washer when not in use.
Solution is to lift the outlet pipe higher.than the bottom of the sink.
The other reason is the inlet valve is not shutting off properly.
To prove if this is the case, turn the water off at the valve, if it is hot and cold fill, then turn the hot off only, and wait and see if water comes in over a period of time, if it does not then you need to replace the hot valve.
If water stills comes in with hot turned off, then you need to replace the cold valve.
If cold fill only , turn off cold and wait to see if any water comes in, if it does not, then replace cold valve.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
