Quick Roper Washing Machine Troubleshooting Guide

8 Common Roper Washing Machine Problems for DIY Troubleshooting

Here are the eight most common problems among Roper washers.

1. Roper Washing Machine Not Turning On

If your Roper washer won’t turn on, it’s likely due to failed power. In such a case, your washing machine is not getting enough power to switch on, and the potential causes include the following.

• Power loss – Check if you’ve power. If it’s a power outage case, then that’s the reason your washer won’t turn on.

• Unplugged, loose, or damaged power cord – Check if the power cord is unplugged or loose. If it is, then inspect it for damage, as that could also cause it to fail to transmit power to the washer to enable it to turn on.

• Defective wall socket – Try plugging another (working) appliance into the wall outlet to see if the outlet is working. If it doesn’t, then it’s likely that the outlet is defective. You can confirm that by plugging the washer into a different working outlet. If it works, then that proves the original socket is faulty.

• Blown-up fuse – If the line or thermal fuse is blown up during a power surge, the washer won’t turn. Just test the fuse for continuity using a multimeter. If it lacks continuity, that confirms it’s blown up.

• Tripped breaker – A power surge can also trip off the circuit breaker. When it does, the action stops the washer from getting any power, thus failing to turn on.

If the issue is not a lack of power, it’s most likely a failed control board. Once the main control board fails, it cannot power the washer’s electronic components, preventing it from turning on.

Fix

First, rule out the possibility of an outage. If there’s an outage, wait for the power restoration. But if there’s no outage, ensure you firmly plug in the power cord, and if the cable looks damaged, replace it.

Replace a defective wall socket or fuse – something you can tell if they won’t show continuity when you test them with a multimeter. And if the circuit breaker is tripped off, reset it.

2. Roper Washing Machine Not Filling

While you expect a Roper washer to start sensing filling up with water as soon as you start it, sometimes it doesn’t. If that’s the case, the problem could be one of these:

• Low water pressure –Your washer needs a water pressure of at least 20psi to receive enough water. If it’s lower, then the washer won’t get enough water. Low water pressure is often associated with a blocked hose.

• Clogged or faulty inlet valve – If the inlet valve is dirt-clogged or defective (lacks continuity), water won’t get to the washer. And if it does, then the filling will be slow.

• Faulty pressure switch – If the pressure switch is defective, it interrupts the inlet valve’s voltage, stopping the washer from filling. 

• Faulty control board – If the cause is none of the above, consider that the control board could be defective.

Fix

Use a water pressure gauge to check if the water pressure is above 20 psi. If not, check for signs of blockage on the supply hose and unblock it.

Then test the lid switch’s continuity. If it lacks continuity, replace it. And at last, replace the control board if nothing else malfunctions.

3. Roper Washing Machine Not Spinning

You don’t expect to wash clothes if your Roper washer doesn’t spin. You can tell that through a glance at the drum. If the drum won’t turn, it’s likely due to any of these issues:

• Failed lid switch – The washer won’t spin if the lid is open. Often, the lid won’t close because of a malfunctioning lid switch, which you can tell with a multimeter. If the lid switch fails to show continuity, that affirms it is faulty.

• Broken drive belt – A working drive belt drives the motor, which causes the drum to spin clothes. However, a broken drive belt fails to do that, so consider checking the drive belt for breakage.

• Defective motor coupling or suspension rods – The washing machine won’t spin if these parts fail. For example, worn-out or broken motor coupling fails to attach the motor to the transmission, while worn-out suspension rods compel the control board to halt the spin cycle, resulting in a non-spinning washer.

• Other reasons – The washer will also fail to spin if the door latch, drive motor, drive pulley, drum bearing, or control board is defective. This may be a result of wearing down or breaking.

Fix

Replace the lid switch if it fails to show electrical continuity on a multimeter and the drive belt if broken. Also, replace any other parts mentioned above if worn out or damaged.

4. Roper Washing Machine Not Agitating

Proper agitation is just as essential as spinning when using a washer, and if your Roper doesn’t agitate, you can’t properly clean the clothes.

Here’s what to check when your washer fails to agitate:

• Failed power – Your Roper washer won’t agitate without power. So, go through the checks under ‘Roper washing machine not turning on’ discussed earlier to see if something is cutting off your Roper’s power supply.

• Unlatched lid – If the lid is open, your Roper won’t agitate, just like it won’t spin. So, check it and try latching it. Ensure you remove any obstruction, and if it doesn’t shut, test the lid switch’s continuity with a multimeter.

• Defective agitator repair kit, drive block, drive belt, motor coupling, or control board – The washer will fail to agitate if any of these components is faulty. So, inspect them for wearing and breakage, as that may happen over time.

Fix

Check if your Roper has power, and if it doesn’t, use the tips under ‘Roper washing machine not turning on’ shared earlier to fix it. Try latching the door, but replace it if the lid switch lacks continuity.

And if the agitator repair kit, drive block, drive belt, or motor coupling is defective, replace it, and if it’s none of them, replace the control board.

5. Roper Washing Machine Not Rinsing

You want your Roper washer to deliver the best cleaning results. That’s only possible if it rinses well. At times, however, the following issues could prevent the washer from doing that:

• Drum overload – The washer cannot rinse properly if the drum is excessively loaded. That’s often the case when you exceed the ¾ threshold.

• Excess detergent – Too much detergent, especially non-HE detergent, causes too many suds, which prevents the washer from rinsing well.

• Low water pressure – A water pressure below 20psi doesn’t guarantee adequate water supply to the washer, affecting the washer’s ability to rinse the clothes properly.

• Blocked drain hose – Meanwhile, if the drain hose is clogged, water won’t drain; if it doesn’t, the washer won’t rinse.

Fix

Reduce the drum’s capacity to ¾ if excessively loaded, and avoid using too much detergent. Preferably, use HE (high-efficiency) detergent and ensure there are no blockages in the supply line which could reduce the water pressure.

And if the drain hose has a clog, dislodge it to facilitate good drainage.

6. Roper Washing Machine Will Not Complete Cycle

Sometimes a Roper washer starts a cycle typically and runs for a while, only to stop mid-cycle. That often happens due to any of these issues:

• Loose power cord – If the power cable is loose, it disrupts the power supply to the washer, and when that happens, the washer cannot complete a cycle.

• Unlatched door – An unlatched door also interrupts a running cycle, making it hard for the washer to complete a wash cycle.

• Insufficient water – If your washer doesn’t have enough water, perhaps due to low pressure (under 20psi) or a clog, it won’t complete a wash cycle.

• A defective lid switch, inlet valve, timer, drain pump, or control board – The washing machine will fail to complete a given wash cycle if the lid switch, timer, drain pump, or control board malfunctions.

Fix

Firmly plug in the washer power cable if it’s loose and latch the door. If the door won’t lock, check for any obstruction and remove it and if the door latch is broken, replace it.

Meantime, ensure the water has enough water. If it doesn’t, check for kinks or clogs, which may reduce the water pressure, and remove them. Inspect the lid switch, water inlet valve, and timer for continuity, and replace any parts lacking continuity.

And if the drain pump won’t work, replace it, and if it’s none of the mentioned components, replace the control board.

7. Roper Washing Machine Stuck On Sensing Fill

A Roper washer stays on sensing fill for about 3-5 minutes. Some issues, however, may cause it to stay much longer. That’s likely to happen if any of these components is faulty:

• Water inlet valve

• Shift actuator

• Control panel

• Drive motor

So, inspect these components to see if they are worn out or just defective.

Fix

Replace the water inlet valve, shift actuator, control panel, or drive motor if it’s defective.

8. Roper Washing Machine Leaking Water from Bottom

A properly working Roper washing machine shouldn’t be leaking from underneath. It happens when there’s a malfunction, and it could be any of these:

• Drum overload – The washer will leak from below if the drum is excessively loaded. That happens when you load it more than ¾ full.

• Excess detergent – Excessive detergent translates to excessive suds, which could cause the washer to leak from underneath.

• Loose fill hose – The washer may also leak from underneath because of a loose fill hose. So, inspect it.

• Low water pressure – A pressure below 20psi can sometimes cause the washing machine to leak from underneath.

• Damaged detergent dispenser – Expect the washing machine to leak if the detergent dispenser leaks.

• Defective tub seal, drain pump, seal retaining ring, boot seal, or inlet valve – Lastly, your Roper will leak from below if any of these components is defective.

Fix

Keep the drum load not above ¾, and avoid using too much detergent or non-HE options. Use high-efficiency (HE) detergent instead. Firmly attach the fill hose and clear any blockages which could reduce the water pressure.

If the detergent dispenser is broken or the tub seal, drain pump, seal retaining ring, boot seal, or inlet valve is defective, replace it.

Roper Washing Machine Lid Switch Bypass Troubleshooting

Sometimes the Roper washer’s lid won’t lock, which prevents the washer from starting, and if it does start, it cannot spin or agitate. While that often happens due to a faulty lid switch, sometimes all you need to do is bypass or reset the lid switch.

Here’s how to perform the Roper washing machine reset troubleshooting to bypass the lid switch:

Option 1 (Master Reset) – Turn off the washer for 60 seconds to try and restart it

Option 2 (Hard Reset) – Unplug the washing machine for at least 5 minutes and then plug it back in

Option 3 (Lid Lifting) – Quickly unplug the washer and then lift the lid (at least 2 inches) and lower it at least six times under 12 seconds

Remember, you can also run the Roper Washing Machine Diagnostic Mode troubleshooting to detect an error code which you can clear using the above reset techniques.
