I would first disconnect the water hoses and run them in a bucket or down the drain to check water flow. There are screens in the valve that could also be clogged preventing water from entering the machine. If these check out it is likely the valve itself and if the screens are clogged in the valve and it’s 30 years old it would be a good idea to replace the valve anyway.

Does the machine at least BUZZ faintly when it's supposed to be filling?
If it does, then at least it's one way of knowing the valve is getting electricity. That's important from the start. If it's not getting electricity, it could be a timer issue or a wire could be off or broken. Yes, the particle screen could be clogged. Which is an easy fix. Just needs cleaning.
