Is there something wrong with the water inlet valves or do they need to be replaced? Or is something else wrong?

The hot water valve has a much smaller orifice than the cold water side so hot water normally comes in a lot slower. Also, when hot or warm is selected, cold water is cycled on/off during fill to regulate the overall temp of the water in the tub. The lid must be closed for this to occur. May be nothing wrong or may be that the hot water side is obstructed. Remove hoses and check the screens in the valve and any that are in the hose ends. Eric
