Could be the hose behind the washer either blocked or kinked over. Also is the valve opening properly?

Maybe the filter to the inlet is blocked, or the service valve is faulty

I would need to ask more questions to be able to identify the fault.
Rough flow chart for you to follow.
1) Does the machine start up if you put it on a drain or spin only cycle?
.....If No:
a) Door interlock issue Door not electrically closing properly, Can you hear a click when you push the door in and a click after a few seconds as the door locks ?)
..... If YES:
Once you start the fill cycle, eg after the door locks, and you put your ear to the front of the machine can you hear a humming noise
.........If YES:
Water solonoid that lets the water in is open, so issue is no water getting to the washing machine. Most likely cause is a kinked fill hose. Pull the washer out check the pipe routing look for the kink, reroute the pipe job fixed
Most likely:
If you dont find a kink, turn the water off to the hose, undo the hose at the washing machine end, point the hose into the sink or bucket, turn the water on to prove tap is actually physically turned on, not assumed so because the lever on the tap is pointing in a certain way.
If none of those answer the question get back to us with more information

If the hose to the machine isn’t Kinked and the valve works and let’s water pass then I’d say the problem lays within the machine and is probably a faulty inlet valve inside your washing machine
