I want to make sure this used machine works and want to put it thru a small test - littlest setting.....tried to make it agitate without the water hose connected (just put pail fu ll of water in) and it wouldn't agitate.
The pressure switch has to be satisfied first, then it will agitate. There is a way to force the agitation, but hooking up the water would be easiest. Hope this helps
SOURCE: Washer won't drain
Mustache, sounds like you have a broken lid switch. No spin, no drain usually a sign of this. Check to see if the actuator is making the lid switch, or the switch itself is bad. Part number for the switch is 8318084. Catriver, post back.
SOURCE: Agitator-How do you get it off?
(Roper is actually made by Whirlpool) This is simpler than it sounds, just takes time and a few steps. Do you have a fabric softener dispenser that resides on top of the agitator? This dispenser simply snaps onto the top of the agitator. Some styles use a decorative cap. To remove the dispenser, simply grab it and firmly pull up. There is a cap that covers the bolt or nut that holds the agitator in place. To remove the agitator cap, insert a small flat-head screw driver into the seam between the agitator cap and the upper agitator (the part that moves). Use a twisting or prying action to pop the cap off of the agitator. Sometimes there is a little slot where you can insert the screwdriver. Look for it first. There maybe an internal debris cap under this: Inside the agitator you will see a cap with a raised handle. Simply reach into the agitator and twist the cap while pulling up. This will remove the cap and its o-ring. Removing the agitator: When looking into the agitator assembly, you will notice a single nut in the center of the agitator. Use a socket kit or nut driver to remove this bolt or nut from the agitator stud. Don't use plyers, it'll just mess up the nut. With the bolt removed you should be able to remove the agitator by simply pulling up. Twist back and forth CW & CCW when lifting. Some are a 2 piece design, so pulling up will actually remove either the whole agitator assembly or only half of it. If whole assy comes up and you may need to seperate the two for your new parts. Place the Lower Agitator on the floor and stand on the flat lip. Then Pull up to separate the Upper Agitator (mover) from the Lower Agitator. As far as your parts go I'm not sure where they go without seeing it myself. There is a spline or ratch assembly which causes the agitator to move back and forth. They are usually made of plastic and get worn or break. This might be what you are replacing. It's not clear as to what parts they gave you. Good Luck
SOURCE: WASHER NOT AGITATING OR WASHING
This
is a common symptom of a defective lid switch. If you try opening and closing
the lid and do not hear a distinctive "clicking" sound, your lid
switch may need to be replaced. Some lid switches are located on the right-hand
side of the lid opening with a small slot. It is activated by a plastic piece
called a “lid strike” on the lid itself. Make sure the lid strike is not broken
off. This will keep the switch from not working. On some model washers the lid
switch is located on the left-hand side, in the rear, mounted under the casing
near the lid hinge. It is activated by a rod on the lid hinge. Sometimes the rod can
be adjusted if it is not making good contact with the switch. In either case,
if the switch is not activated, it will allow the washer to fill and maybe agitate,
but will not start the rinse or drain cycles. If you diagnose it and wish to
attempt the repair yourself, the switch costs about $35 and is fairly simple to
replace if you follow the steps below:
First of all, unplug your washer. You will need to remove the console in order
to get to the lid switch. I believe your washer has release tabs under the
console at each front corner. Simply slide a putty knife straight in from the
front at each corner and push in while lifting up. You should feel the release
tabs push in and the console will pop up. Or, you may have a console that has
removable end caps. They can be removed by gently prying up on the top of them
from the rear on each side. You may have to use a small screwdriver for this.
The caps should pop right off. Once removed, you will need to loosen a screw
under each cap. Once you have the console loosened, carefully lift it up and
lay it back over the rear panel of the washer in its resting position. Be
careful not to damage the small plastic hinges that hold it in place. Now you
will need to perform the following steps:
1. Under the console you will find the lid switch connector. Unplug the switch
from the connector.
2. There will be two brass colored clips. You will need to remove these to
remove the machine casing. Place a flat blade screwdriver straight down into
the opening on top of the washer and into the groove of the clip. Push the
screwdriver away from you while holding into the groove and the clip will
release.
3. Open the lid of the washer and place your hand under the front rim of the
opening (DO NOT grab the wash tub). Now pull the case from the frame by lifting
from the back first.
You do not have to remove it all the way from the frame. Just enough to gain
access to the switch. All there is to the switch is a couple of screws holding
it in and a ground wire. It's a pretty easy repair job.
Once you've completed your switch installation, make sure you get the case back
on the frame correctly by following these steps:
1. While looking down through the lid opening, place the front lip of the
machine case UNDER the washer frame and start leaning it back onto the frame.
There are four small cleats that must fit into four slots on the case or the
washer will vibrate. Make sure the frame is seated properly, lean forward from the
front of the washer, grasp both sides of the rear panel and pull towards the
case. The rear panel should be seated and flush with the casing before
inserting the retaining clips.
2. Insert the brass-colored clips into the slot on the washer rear panel first,
then push straight down into the opening on the top of the washer with some
force. If you have the case seated correctly, the clips will snap back in.
3. Make sure you plug the connector from the console back into the lid switch
receptacle and close the console.
I hope you find this helpful. If you have any questions please let me know by
