A vendor-neutral guide might be of some use, but fortunately there are specific solutions for your Whirlpool washer. Your problem is most likely the result of a defective water valve or a too-low water pressure in your home. Both of these are detailed at https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Washing-Machine/43-5-1414698-/new/Whirlpool-Washer-fills-slowly-or-will-not-fill-at-all-WTW8500BW, and if needed you can buy a new water valve from the same page.
