I was susessful in removing a lot of smelly crud; however, I have an additional issue that zero water is coming into the washer. Any ideas? Update (09/01/2018) No water entering, but crud cleaned out.

dnantz3 could be an issue with the water inlet valves as well as the screens between the water lines and the valves. Remove those for testing purposes and see if that makes a difference. Download the service manual for the washer from the bottom of this page Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine Repair It will show you how to test the valves. Also, it will help if you can give us the complete model number for your washer.
