Roper Washing Machine Filter Parts

Roper washers rely on filters to keep lint, debris, and foreign objects out of the pump and drain system. A clogged or failed filter causes standing water, slow drainage, and backup — one of the most common Roper washer complaints. Whether your machine is a top-load or front-load model, the filter is easy to access and replace yourself, and OEM Roper filters are built to the exact specifications your washer needs.

Common signs your Roper washer filter needs replacement: water standing in the tub after the cycle ends, slow or no drainage, unusual noises from the pump area, or visible lint buildup around the filter housing. A clogged filter can force the drain pump to work harder and fail prematurely — replacing the filter early is cheap insurance.

• Drain pump filter: Most common; sits in or near the pump; catches lint and small objects before they jam the pump
• Inlet water filter screens: Small mesh screens at the hose connection; prevent sediment from entering valves
• Tub seal filter kit: Front-load models; protects seal area from lint accumulation
• Lint trap assembly: Top-load models; collects lint before it reaches the pump
• Filter housing and gasket set: Complete replacement kit; includes seals and housing when the filter compartment is damaged

Find your exact Roper model number on the data plate (usually inside the door or on the back) and use our Roper washing machine filter parts page to locate the correct filter for your machine. Roper filters are often built by Whirlpool Corporation — OEM parts ensure compatible fit and prevent costly pump repairs down the road.

Roper Washing Machine Filter FAQs

Why is my Roper washer not draining completely?

A clogged or failed drain filter is the #1 reason Roper washers leave standing water. The filter catches lint, coins, buttons, and hair before they jam the pump. When the filter is full or damaged, water backs up into the tub. Check the filter first — it's usually accessible from the front or bottom of the machine. If it's packed with lint, cleaning or replacing it often solves the problem immediately. If the filter is already clean, the pump itself may have failed, but the filter is always the first place to look.

How do I find my Roper washing machine model number?

Your Roper model number is printed on a data plate or rating label, usually located inside the washing machine door frame or on the back panel near the bottom. It starts with a letter (often R) followed by numbers. Write down the complete model number — Roper made many variations across decades, and the exact model number ensures you get the right filter. Once you have it, enter it into our Repair Clinic lookup tool and we'll show you the exact filter parts that fit your machine.

Can I clean and reuse my Roper washer filter instead of replacing it?

In many cases, yes — rinsing a lint-clogged filter with water will restore function temporarily. Remove the filter, rinse it under running water to clear lint buildup, and reinstall it. However, if the filter is torn, cracked, or the mesh is damaged, it must be replaced. A damaged filter allows lint and debris to reach the pump, defeating the purpose. OEM Roper replacement filters are inexpensive ($15 to $35) and designed to last years — replacing it when damaged is the right call to protect your pump.

Does my Roper washer have one filter or multiple filters?

Most Roper washers have at least two filter points: the drain pump filter (the main lint trap) and inlet water filter screens at the hose connections. Some models also include a tub seal filter in front-load machines. Your model number and machine type (top-load vs. Front-load) determine the exact configuration. Enter your model into our lookup tool to see all filter parts for your specific Roper washer, and order them together — replacing them all at once prevents future drainage problems.

Roper Washing Machine Model Number: Where to Look

Roper typically prints the model number on a data plate inside the washer door frame or along the back panel. Top-load machines may also have it under the lid. Look for the full model code, not the serial number, and copy every letter and number exactly as shown. Enter that code in the search bar to narrow the complete Roper washing machine parts catalog to parts made for your specific unit, including filters and other associated parts. If the label is hard to read, clean the area gently or use a flashlight, then check the number against your owner's manual before searching. Accurate model information removes compatibility guesswork and helps you get the repair moving without sorting through parts for similar-looking washers.
