If your Roper stove or oven controls are not working, start with the control knobs before replacing an internal part. A cracked or stripped timer knob is the most likely cause when the timer will not engage or rotate the timer stem. Next, check the thermostat knob, which must grip the thermostat stem to adjust oven temperature. A damaged selector knob can also slip without turning the selector switch, while a worn control knob may fail to engage a switch or valve stem for a burner or oven function. If the knobs look intact, a recent power surge or outage may have temporarily affected the range controls. Turn off power to the Roper range for a few minutes, then restore it and test the controls. This troubleshooting applies to common stove controls not working and oven controls not working symptoms, including a knob that turns freely without changing settings. Replace a damaged timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, or control knob with the correct part for your appliance. Enter your Roper model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific range, stove, or oven.
