My Kenmore 90 series washer is filling sooooooo slowly--HELP!?

My washer is taking forever to fill--it takes about 30 minutes for a full load to fill, then another 30 for the rinse cycle. My laundry is piling up so high that I fear for my safety!! I have used different settings (cold, warm, hot) and warm seems to sound like the most water, but it is still just a trickle from either side of the water inlet into the washer. Thanks in advance for your help.

Kenmore Kenmore 90 series Household Appliances, Washing Machines Kenmore Series Filling

I have checked my supply lines (hot and cold) and they are fine. I cleaned the screen at the back of the washer and it is fine. What do I do next? There must be a clog in the line inside of the machine for both the hot and cold water.

Any suggestions?

turn off both taps that supply the water to the machine, remove cold pipe and place into a bucket turn on turn you should have a good supply (not a dribble )if a dribble check HOW PIPE IS CONNECTED TO YOUR SUPPLY repeat this test for the other tap.
Do you have self cutting taps fitted ? you can tell these as they clamp onto the supply check supply hole for blockage of rust better still CHANGE TAPS, ( washer WILL struggles to fill through a LITTLE HOLE 1/8" BIG )now look in the rear of machine where the taps attach you will see plastic mesh FILTERS remove and clean lime scale etc replace and try FILLING machine again
