Roper Washer won't stop

Won’t your Roper washer stop? Keeps running, or is stuck on a cycle, check for water siphoning first. The drain hose may be installed too low, sealed tightly in the standpipe, or pushed too far down the pipe, allowing water to drain continuously and causing the washer to keep filling. Position the hose outlet about 30 to 36 inches above the floor in the standpipe or laundry tub, following your model's installation requirements. If the washer can drain the tub normally but the washing machine won't stop, a defective control board is the next likely cause. Inspect the control board for burn marks or shorted components, although it can be difficult to test. A failed main control board can cause the same washer not stopping problem. Less commonly, the timer may be defective and can be tested with a multimeter and the wiring diagram. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing any component. Enter your Roper washer's model number to find the exact replacement control board, main control board, or timer for your specific washing machine.

01 - Water siphoning from tub

If the water is siphoning from the tub the outlet end of the drain hose is likely lower than the water level in the tub. The drain hose should terminate between 30 inches to 36 inches (77 centimeters to 92 centimeters) above the floor, depending on the model, in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the drain hose is sealed at the top of the standpipe or excess hose is pushed too far down into the pipe, siphoning can also occur.

02 - Roper Washing Machine Control Board

If the washer can successfully drain the water from the tub then a defective control board could be responsible for the washer not stopping. The control board cannot be easily tested, but you can try to inspect it for signs of burning or a shorted-out component to help determine if the part should be replaced.
