Last week my roomate left his cell phone in his pants pocket ,and washed it in a load of cloths , he descovered it. The phone didnt work ,but when he dryed it out he could make calls on it AMAZING!!!
My brother washed his old Samsung cell phone 3 times. I told him NOT to turn it on and to take it apart (remove battery, rear cover, ect), place it over the A/C vent and turn on the A/C (A/C absorbs moister). Worked every time.
On our MAH6500 my roomate usually uses max extract,I`m alwase on him about checking his pockets for things.Actually we didn`t line dry the phone just took the photo of it on the line as a novelty.He opened up the back took battery out dryed it in the sun on the picknick table.in 3 hours it worked he call the land line from the back yard!!!
When I was using my front load Westinghouse "laundry mat washer" and coins would get into the pump he`d get the blame ,those washers had a bad habbit of doing that plus twisting bed sheets up since they only washed in one direction
