Hey everyone I got a problem with my Roper washer when ever I want to start doing laundry I have to try to start it like 50 times...

The water dosnt want to fill in the washer it always starts the wash cycle but without water... after trying for a while then it decide to start puring water in and then everything goes normal.

I think my GF is about to go postal on the washer so hmmm I would like some help or tips or maybe what part should be change on it :|

Thanks

I could not find info on the given model number.
The following is a unit with the "Y" removed.
The Y often designates a non US unit and there may be small differences in the wiring.

Here are the parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL RAX6144EQ1 | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is the wiring diagram
http://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Wiring%20Sheet%20-%203948835.pdf

Unit should not start with out the unit filling so two possibilities come to mind, the water level switch or the timer.

When the unit will not fill, unplug it. Remove the V wire from the water level switch and measure across the switch. V connector to T should be infinite ohms and V to P should be 0 ohms. If not the switch needs replacing as it is sticking in the actuated position so the unit thinks it is already full of water.
Be gentle when doing this as just a slight bump may cause the switch to unstuck.

If the water level switch is OK then odds are the timer is the problem.

Thanks for the reply, Might be a slow reply but I just tested the Water level switch V to T Return 1 with is infinit I guess and V to P 0 So I guess the Water level switch is fine.

The timer is Item 9 in Section 2.

I am not sure that it is the correct part as I cannot find any parts for a unit with a Y at the beginning.
Best to call/email the people at AppliancePartsPros to be sure you get the correct timer.
