Why wont my washing machine fill with water?

SIMPSON ENDURO 751 Automatic Washing Machine.
I am unable to fill up my washing with the hoses connected to the the taps. The water comes out but takes approx 1 hour for a litre of water to fill the machine. This is for both hot and cold water. I have to manually fill the washer and it is a pain. I have to be there to fill up for rinse cycles!!
Can I fix this myself, I cant afford for a tech to fix it? If so, what parts will I need?
THANKYOU:)

sounds funny but is this a new machine? if so check to make sure the caps were removed before filling.... if its not a new machine then chances are the screens are plugged with crap... rust... dirt...exe... just look inside the holes where the hoses connect and see if anything is in there.. remove it there is.. The worst case is a fill valve silinoid which controls when the water comes in and stops. Price is approx...$20 $30 to replace just take the back off the washer and you'll see the part where the water comes in. Take the part off and see your local service man along with Brand/ model # and Serial #
GOOD LUCK
