Possible Causes

Blown line fuse or thermal fuse (if equipped), Failed main control board, Loose power cord connection at terminal block, Broken power cord

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer before opening any panels. Verify the outlet has 120 VAC using a meter or by testing another appliance.

  • Step 1 – Check power cord and outlet: Inspect the cord for cuts or burns. Confirm the plug fits tightly in the outlet.
  • Step 2 – Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear panel to access the power cord terminal block. Look for burnt connections or loose screws. Tighten or replace damaged parts.
  • Step 3 – Check internal fuse (if present): Some Roper models have a line or thermal fuse on the control board or wiring harness. Test for continuity and replace if open.

If power is present at the control but the washer remains dead, the main control board is likely faulty and should be replaced.
