When I turn the knob, the washer will not fill with water. But when I put knob on spin cycle, it spins. Do I need a timer, or is there something else wrong? It spins only.

The washer does not agitate because there is no water.

Check the water source first. Then check for continuity the coils on the water inlet valve (#18 on the controls and rear panel break down diagram).

If any of the coil is open, replace the water inlet valve.

If there is nothing wrong, check for 120V coming to each coils when the timer calls for water.

If there is proper power, then possible the screens inside the water valve are clogged. In such case it's better to replace the water inlet valve then clean the screens.

If there is no power - replace the timer.

- The part number for the water inlet valve is AP3094541

- The part number for the timer is AP3037984

Here are the break down diagrams for the Roper washer Model RAX4232KQ0

Gene,

Thank you so much for all of your help. I will try this and see if it works. If not, I will be back in touch with you. Have a nice day.

We installed the timer, and it still did not do anything. We took the timer back and purchased the valve today. The washer filled up with water, which it was not doing before, but it will not go to the next cycle. What should we try next?

Now I would check the lid switch.

Open the control panel, unplug the lid switch harness plug and check for continuity across the gray wires.

With the lid closed the circuit should be closed.

Replace the lid switch if it's open.

Good luck.
