If your machine has 2 water hoses connected check to see if both water valves are connected and switched on, if so the you may have a faulty cold water valve. If you have only 1 water hose then the cold water valve on the twin or triple valve is faulty. You can change these easily buy removing the top panel and removing the valve, usually only 2 screws. Hope this helps.

First things first ensure that the cold water tap is turned on. If it is on, turn it off, and check the hose for obstructions, and then the inlet of the machine to make sure the filter screen isn't clogged by debris from the water line. Anything beyond that, such as inside the machine, you'd want a pro to look at.

Make sure the cold water supply is on and not blocked.
If the machine fills but does not wash try to find a thermal switch that is supposed to come on when the cold water has heated up.

Kenmore elite smartwash quiet pak 9 he4t the washer starts filing water when the washer is turned off.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning water control valve- not closing fully- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill!
Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call ;-0(
Good luck,
John C

Kenmore Elite washing machine will not fill as fast as usual.

You will need to get behind the washer, turn the water off, disconnect the hose from the washer, look for a screen inside the water valve, hopefully there is one that you can clean if necessary. I always put the hose over in the washer and turn the water on to check the flow.

If the screens on both hot and cold are clear, water flow is good on both hot and cold, connect the water back to the washer. If the flow is still slow then the problem is inside the valve. The valve will have to be replaced.
