I have an issue with water trickling into the washer when I start the cycle, for both hot and cold water. The pressure from the hose when disconnected from the washer is strong. I'm thinking there may be some blockage inside the washer? I'm sure sediment from the water is building up as we use well water, although our water is not "hard". How difficult is it to get inside and inspect this and see if there is blockage somewhere? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Most likely the problem is a bad water inlet valve (#2 on the diagram)

You can find the disassembly instructions in the Service manual.

- The part number for the water inlet valve is AP4026884

Here are the break down diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG MAH5500BWW | AppliancePartsPros.com

Also did you look into the ends of the machines water valves when you had the hoses off..
There are screen filters built into the valves.
