It does seem that the pressure for the cold water is less than half the pressure that it use to be and is much less than the hot water line.

If there is nothing wrong, replace the water inlet valve. If you need the correct part number for the water inlet valve, post the serial number of the washer. Gene.

If it is clogged, clean it out well and then see if that works. No need to replace the valve log if you don't need to. This happens a lot on houses with well water. Check both ends of fill hose... there may be a screen on faucet end also.
