water in front ring of drum,matag mah3000aww washing machine?

Should there be water in front ring of drum?
Had problem with washer going into high spin at end of cycle.
Checked and found resistor R11 and transistor Q6 bad on control board. Repaired control board. After repairing control board,I spin the drum and heard water.I then remove the front of the machine and found that the water was in the front ring of the drum. Was not
sure if water was suppose to be in there.
