why wont my hoover washing machine h160e take in water?

My hoover H160E model has stopped taking in water. We were advised it could be the pump. We replaced the solenoid and on replacing it the water started to be taken in for a second then stopped. Touched the hotfill pump and it started it again for a second then stopped. The computer seems to be doing all the right things. Can anyone advise what the next step might be. Thank you
