Possible Causes

Partially clogged inlet screens, Weak water pressure, Sticking water inlet valve, Restricted pressure hose to level sensor

Safety: Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing.

Inspect hoses: Ensure fill hoses are not kinked or crushed behind the washer.
Clean valve screens: Remove hoses and clean the inlet screens as described for E nF.
Check pressure hose: Remove the pressure hose from the tub and sensor, blow through it to confirm it is clear, and reattach securely.
Replace valve if slow: If water trickles into the tub even with good house pressure, replace the water inlet valve assembly.
