If your Roper washer isn’t responding. Begin by ruling out the obvious: is it not plugged in? Is the circuit tripping? To test whether the electrical outlet is the cause and to determine the cause, plug a dryer or any other electrical device into it. If the hair dryer does not work, the wiring in the outlet may be the issue.
Contact an electrician to repair the electrical outlet. The problem with the wiring could be in the washer if the hair dryer does not work. Here are the steps to confirm the wiring within your Roper washer:
- Unplug the Roper washer. Check the power cord for damage. Replace the power cord if it’s damaged.
- Make sure that the wires are connected to the timer or main control board. Reconnect any wires that are loose.
- If your Roper washing machine has digital displays, verify your wiring connections between the control board that controls the washer and the board for the user interface. Reconnect any loose user interface wires. You might need to replace the control board that controls your main appliance, or the user interface board, when the wire connections are in good working order.
Before replacing the control components, it’s recommended to ask a Roper service technician check the Roper washing machine control boards and user interface boards. Live voltage checks are mandatory for testing the controls. We wouldn’t recommend you do a live voltage test on your Roper washer by yourself, as those tests can be risky.
Replace the Roper washer’s main control board
The main electronic control board, sometimes referred to the mother board is responsible for the execution and timing of the washer’s component functions. It regulates the drain valves as well as the fill pumps, in addition to the drive motor.
Change the Roper washer’s timer
The cycle selector, also referred to as a timer, is the dial that is used to control the cycle of a Roper washing machine using mechanical controls. The washer goes through its cycles from initial filling up to the final spin using the timer. If the timer isn’t moving the washer through its cycles then replace it.
Replace the Roper washer user interface board
The user interface board is where you can find the buttons you press to begin the washing cycle. If any or all of the buttons don’t work, you need to replace the user interface board. In the end it is clear that a Roper washing machine that doesn’t function in any way can be a traumatic and overwhelming problem to address. However, many causes of a Roper washing machine that’s not functioning can be fixed by the home owner.
