Sorry to hear about your flooding. I do not have an answer for you, but I hope both Maytags work. | ||

Flooded Appliances Sorry to hear about your mess, the washer should be fine, just keep using it. The brake assembly probably got flooded with water but should dry out and be OK along with the lower 1/2 of the motor.
The freezer should be relatively easy to fix as the compressor is completely sealed, the relay and overload protector can be damaged as can the condenser fan motor and defrost timer if your freezer has these items. | ||

flood damage The worst that might happen is the radial bearing in the brake package will get noisy during spin and the machine will sound like a subway train going by.If this was sewage water it may cause a cancer on the motor windings I wound clean them if possible and oil the motor bearings with turbine oil. | ||

No raw sewage water. I tried the organ blower today and no go. Time to call Organ Supply and get a new one. Thanks for all of your input and concern. Gary | ||

That's a shame about your organ, and to think you were so worried about your Maytags which survived without a blink. Those sturdy legs on your conventionals are immune.
Gary, do you also have Maytag Automatics, and I missed the thread? I sure hope you get the freezer and organ up and running without much expense. | ||

Will the insurance company replace your organ compressor?Was any other part of the organ damaged?Organs and floods as we know don't fare out.If the blower box is wood-can see the wood warping beyond usefullness. | ||

 So sorry to hear about that, I live in an area (po plain) subject to storms, floods and flash floods too... I've seen much distruction during the years In Alessandria (town near here, still vivid in memories the big flood of 1994).... then also in other regions, Genova just few years ago with the destructive flash flood.
