Roper Washer controls don't work
If your Roper washer controls don't work, the entire display or timer may be unresponsive, or a knob may turn without changing the cycle. Start with the most likely causes: inspect the washing machine power cord for breaks, exposed wires, or burn marks near the terminals. A failed line fuse or washer fuse can also stop power from reaching the controls; test each fuse for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it has no continuity. If the washer has power but the controls still do not respond, check the selector knob, timer knob, and control knob. A cracked or stripped knob may slip on the switch or timer stem instead of engaging it, causing a washer control panel not working problem. Replace the damaged knob so it can properly operate the control. Before ordering a Roper replacement part, enter your model number to find the exact power cord, fuse, selector knob, timer knob, or control knob for your specific washing machine. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing electrical components, and follow the manufacturer’s safety procedures.
01 - Roper Washing Machine Power Cord
If the whole washer display or timer is not working, the washer's power cord could the source of the problem. Inspect the cord for any breaks or burn marks near the terminals. If the terminals appear blackened or wires are exposed through the cord's insulation, you should replace the power cord with a new one.
