Frequently Asked Questions
•Where can I find the wiring diagram for my Roper washing machine?
The wiring diagram is often located behind the control panel, inside the cabinet, or on the back of the machine. You can also find it in the service manual for your specific model. Look up your model number online to find a downloadable service manual.
•How do I test the lid switch with a multimeter?
Set your multimeter to the continuity setting (usually indicated by a diode symbol or a buzzer). Disconnect the wires from the lid switch. Place one probe on each terminal of the switch. With the lid open, the multimeter should show no continuity (open circuit). Manually depress the switch actuator (as if the lid were closed), and the multimeter should show continuity (closed circuit). If it doesn't behave this way, the switch is faulty.
•What if the lid switch tests good, and the wiring seems fine, but the machine still gives the F5E1 error?
If the lid switch and wiring are good, the problem is likely with the MCU (Main Control Unit). The MCU might not be correctly interpreting the signal from the lid switch, or the MCU itself could be faulty. Consult with a qualified appliance repair technician for advanced diagnostics and MCU replacement.
