Hello all .. hope all is well. Quick question my Hotpoint is filling extremely SLOW. I also hear a humming buzzing noise as it is filling slow. Water pressure in house is fine. Any ideas of what this could be? Thank you.

Clogged hose or inlet or you have a broken valve.

It sounds like it may be the inlet valve screens need to be cleaned and/or replaced.  If that doesn't work, changing the inlet valve itself should do the trick.  That humming is the solenoid on the valve.  It happens when there is insufficient water flow or the valve needs replacing.

Is both hot and cold slow?

Usually the cold where is out first but sometimes the hot fails,

You can check the screens if you like but 95% chance you need a new inlet valve

options

Clean out the filters for the inlet hoses and replace the hoses or get a new valve.
