Roper Washer stops mid cycle
If your Roper washer stops mid cycle, first check the incoming power. A loose power cord can interrupt electricity and stop the washing machine mid cycle, so make sure the cord is firmly plugged into the outlet. If the power connection is secure, a worn tub bearing or rear drum with bearing may prevent the tub from spinning smoothly and cause the washer to stop. Next, test the lid switch assembly, which prevents the washer from operating when the lid is open or the switch has lost continuity. A failed control board can also interrupt voltage to the washer’s components and stop the cycle. On some models, a defective door lock motor and switch assembly can prevent the door from latching and cause the washer to stop mid-cycle. Inspect the lock for damage and test its switches with a multimeter. Tub bearing and rear drum repairs are extensive, while lid switch, door lock, or control board replacement may be more straightforward. Enter your Roper washer model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine.
01 - Incoming Power Problem
Make sure that the power cord is not loose. It must be plugged in tightly to ensure consistent electrical power to the washer.

02 - Roper Washing Machine Tub Bearing
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together.

03 - Roper Washing Machine Lid Switch Assembly
The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer may stop mid-cycle. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

04 - Roper Washing Machine Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly
The door lock secures the washer door shut during operation. Once the washer door is closed, the washer can begin operating. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch prevents the washer from operating. If the door lock is defective, the washer may stop mid cycle. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Inspect the door lock for damage. If the door lock is damaged or does not latch properly, replace it. To determine if the door lock has failed electrically, consult your washer’s diagram and use a multimeter to test each of the door lock switches for continuity. If one of the switches does ...

05 - Roper Washing Machine Rear Drum with Bearing
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.

06 - Roper Washing Machine Control Board
Since a washing machine control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer's electrical components, a board with a shorted component may send continuous voltage to the water inlet valve, causing the washer to overflow. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component and use a multimeter to test the power output terminals on the board after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram. Some washing machine control boards will have a built-in pressure sensor used to determine how much water to allow into the tub. The control board pressure sensor monitors the amount of water entering the tub dur...

07 - Insufficient water supply
A clogged water inlet valve, the main water supply valve being partially closed, or low water pressure in the home can restrict the amount of water entering the tub, resulting in the washer stopping ahead of the spin cycle. Confirm water pressure is strong at the kitchen faucet and that the home's main water supply valve is fully open.
