Water does not enter washer or enters slowly — Water supply issue

What does Water not entering mean?

• Water supply faucets are not completely open
• Water is being used elsewhere in the house
• Water pressure is below 30 psi (260 kPa)
• Water inlet hoses are kinked
• Water inlet screens are plugged
