Cold water inlet was limiting flow, resulting in slow tank fill time.
When selecting a cold cycle, the inlet valve would allow for slow water flow resulting in 15+ minute tank fill times.
I unplugged the washer, disconnected all water sources.
I removed the 3 screws holding the water inlet value and cover. Disconnected all cabling and water tubing. Replaced valve, reconnected all cabling and reinstalled.
While I was doing the repair on the inlet value. I replaced the hose washer and also installed a screen kit at the home water valve. The home is supported by a well and at times sees sedimentation in the water which could have sparked the initial issue to begin with.
I did clean the old water inlet valve once before which fixed the problem temporarily. It was time to replace the entire part.
This corrected the issue.

No cold water
Doing this repair was a breeze. After disconnecting the power and water I popped the lid and it was 3 screws and 2 wire connectors. Reassembled and done. This was beyond cost effective to do and with simple look see at a diagram anyone with basic mechanical know how and some basic tools could do this.

Deteriorated and clogged strainer; slow water fill.
Loosened the hose coupling, removed the old washer and strainer; cleaned the opening; flushed the opening; installed new strainer and washer; reattached hose and "Bob's your uncle"! No problem.
