So just an update....Before throwing my Bosch out, I plugged it in and decided to give it a shot. I have washed 5 loads of dishes without a hiccup. Remember this dishwasher was completely submerged under 7ft of water!!!! |

I'd keep an eye on the connectors, pins and contacts for them, but sounds like a true trooper
Lets pray it keeps going I know when my house flooded years ago... I stuffed crap in the dishwasher during the evacuation (Took the racks out and put my mixer and other items i wanted to try and save) and the stuff inside stayed dry.. Some how... The oven only got slightly damp |

7 Feet of water will not ruin most appliances if they don't stay under water for longer than a day or so. I am not surprised that it worked again after the water went down and things dried out.
To everyone that was suggesting he just throw it out you should consider that most of these flood victims do not have flood insurance, so unless you want to give a new DW to someone that could use it I would suggest that folks with flooded appliances clean them up let them dry out and see if they still work or can be easily fixed.
