Default washing machine fills with water overnight

Just recently I've noticed that water ends up in our washing machine's
tub while the machine is off. The leak, if that's what it really is,
is slow enough that I don't notice it until quite a few hours have
passed.

I'm going to shut off the water supply to first the hot, then the cold
to narow down where the leak might be. Once i've got that figured out,
what's next?

In a way, if the problem was with the external hoses, that would be a
lot easier. Since the problem appears to be internal to the washing
machine, is this going to be a challenging repair?

Thanks

That probably depends on how easily you can find replacement parts
(probably the fill valve, but possibly an electrical problem).

If it's a name brand, fairly recent, and there's a local distributor,
it might not be too bad.

It's clean water, right?
