Roper has had numerous different designs of dishwashers over the years. The only way for us to know which particular design of appliance you're dealing with is if you post its model number as was requested in the first form message:

thanks dan for the reply. i should know better. anyway the model is a roper wu 3000v2 ser # fx2913419. it wash's great but gets to rinse cycle and sounds like it's working but no water is coming out. it seems to drain ok. thanks dave

A "rinse cycle" consists of several parts; it drains dirty water, it fills with fresh water and then it circulates that clean water through the spray system.

You're saying that just the drain function of the rinse cycle doesn't work? But the motor hums at that time??

When it comes to the spray portion of the rinse cycle, does it spray around the still dirty, un-drained water??

Further, the dishwasher drains normally at the very end of the cycle???

thanks again dan for your reasponse. on the rinse cycle there appears to be no water. the wash cycle is fine it sprays water and drains. when it gets to the rinse cycle it sounds normal but there's no water. i hope this explains it. thanks again

So it's just not filling again at that time.

That could be caused by a problem in the water fill valve (see the following link) or the control system. Someone will likely need to check if the water valve is getting power or not, when it should be filling at that point. Water valves can work once or twice but fail but fail to operate after that.

If the valve WAS getting power but not allowing water to flow through it, the valve would likely be defective and need to be replaced. If it was NOT getting power at that time, the control system would be suspect.
