Roper Washer beeping/alarm sounding

When your Roper washer is beeping or the alarm is sounding, check the display for a fault code first. A code usually identifies the condition causing the washer beeping and points to the appropriate troubleshooting step, so refer to your owner's manual for the code meaning. If the washer began beeping after a power outage, the display may show PO or PF. Turn off the washer's circuit breaker for a few minutes, then restore power to reset it. A power surge or temporary control problem can also make a washer keep beeping, beep randomly, or stop responding until you press a button or perform a power reset. Unplug the washer for several minutes, plug it back in, and try the cycle again. If your Roper washing machine keeps beeping after these resets, the control board, user interface board, control panel, or wire harness may require testing before replacement. Enter your washer's model number on Repair Clinic to find the exact replacement part for your specific machine. Repair Clinic carries Roper washer control boards, timers, knobs, buttons, and other parts to help fix a washing machine beeping problem.

01 - Check Fault Codes

When a washer is beeping, a fault code will usually be displayed to help diagnose the issue. Refer to the owner's manual or do an on-line search for fault code designations and possible solutions.

02 - Power outage reset

After a power outage the washer display may beep and/or flash a code like PO for power outage or PF for power failure. Try turning the breaker off for a few minutes then back on to reset the washer or refer to the owner's manual for specific resetting information.

03 - Power reset

After a power surge or power outage, washer operation could be temporarily affected, resulting in a beeping or other alarm sound. In most cases you need to press a button to reset the alarm. Also, full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the appliance's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the washer then switching it back on.
