Could be the motor or belt, tilt the machine backwards and look underneath to inspect the belt, try turning by hand see if everything is free (will only freely turn in one direction only as brake acts in one direction). Check motor for rotation, remove the front panel for a look, to remove the front panel, at the seam between the front panel and lid push in a flat knife or screwdriver approx 4" in at each side to release the clips (one at each side). this will allow you to lift the top and then remove the two front panel fixing bolts 7-8mm to remove the front panel.

Sounds like the gearbox, unfortunatly this is sealed and is cheaper to replace the machine, presume the machine is quite old.

SOURCE: doesn't fill all the way

the solution to the problem was....a few days before we noticed the washer was not filling all the way, the plumber had come over to clear our pipe, because it was not draining. He had tightened the clamp we were using to keep the pipe in place too tightly, it was air tight and it was creating a vacuum and siphoning the water out when it got to a certain level. We took the clamp off since there was no longer a need for it and the washer fills up and drains as it should.

SOURCE: washer fills up only half way but water keeps trying to fill tub

That is because the water level switch get stuck when water level reaches that particular point.

The water level switch is activated either by a floater sensor or by a membrane sensor that detects water pressure/volume, depending on the model.
On washing machines it is usually a membrane switch, and that is faulty on your machine.

Remove the control console cover. Find the water level switch.
It has a small tube attached to it.
Remove the tube and blow air through it. It is probably stopped up. Reattach it to the water level switch.
Look over the length of the tube and may sure it is not pinched.
Set the washer to spin and run spin for about 1 minute.
Then run water on a lower level and see if it shuts off.
If not replace the water level switch.
