filling the water at the beginning of the cycle is not filling, the hose works ok from the tap to the washing machine. what might happened?

Blocked or faulty inlet valve.
turn off the hose taps, remove hoses and check the plastic filters in the valve inlet connection. You will need a pair of thin pliers to grip the filter tab and pull it out. Clean any debris off with a toothbrush, rinse and reinstall in valve. If the solenoid or valve is faulty it is not repairable, replacement is the only option.
