Do you have any idea what the screw size is ? I somehow took the lid switch out a long time ago and configured some kind of bypass but not it's not draining somI plan to get a replacement lid switch but it doesn't appear to come with the two screws.

I don't remember and no longer have the replacement to reference since I kept the bypass after a second switch failed. Once you have the replacement maybe take it with you to a hardware store to find a match.

Roper is a Whirlpool brand, and it's easy to agree they are not top of the line. Typically more affordable appliances are just older tech that's come down in price. The one I have is almost 20 years old no different than the basic washers most of us grew up with. A lid switch is a very minor problem for the age. Just like with cars an appliance can end up being a lemon and it sounds like maybe that's what's happened. It could be a problematic model and searching reviews might of alleviated that. The point of this video is not to promote or degrade a brand it's just to display an easy fix that's applicable to many different brands and models of this type of washer, and maybe others. It's a very basic switch bypass. Have a great day, Sincerely Steven.
