Kenmore HE3 Front Loader Washer Cold Water Intake problem

I have a Kenmore HE3 Front Loader Washer that is about 6 years old. Something happened where the cold water intake continues to let water run (slow trickle) into the washer even if it's not on. I'm not sure where to begin to self-fix this issue vs. paying for repairs. A manual name or web site would be helpful.

For low water volume - or "Trickling" effect...

1. Turn off the water supply to both hoses.
2. Remove hoses (one at a time so you don't get them confused)
3. On the washer side - look for a removeable screen inside wher you just removed the hose.
4. Using a small screwdriver - pop out the screen and reverse-flush it/clean it. It will likely be full of sediment and calcium deposits from your pipes.
5. Replace the inlet screens.
6. Re-fit the hose to the machine.
7. Turn on water supply valves.
8. re-try.
