I checked the water lines, both hot and cold are on and available to the inlet hoses. What do I check next? Any troubleshooting sources for this? I assume it could be the switch or the valves. Need some model specific guidance if its available. Thanks!

Also blow out the tube going from the water pressure switch. If this does not fix it, and it is likely it won't, You can check to see if 120v is getting to them when the washer is supposed to be filling, if so, replace them. Good luck.

If water flows during the test, the valve is good.
