💧 Flood-Damaged Appliances: What to Repair & Replace 💧

If your home appliances were impacted by flooding, here’s some important advice:

🛡️ Start with Insurance

Before making any repairs, contact your insurance provider to check coverage for flood damage. Some policies may cover repair or replacement costs, helping you make the best financial decision.

🔧 Fridges Like Sub-Zero, Viking, and GE Monogram

The good news? These premium fridges often have their main components at the top, away from floodwaters, meaning they are usually repairable! Repairing them can save you money since replacing these high-end models can be very costly.

❌ Washers & Dryers

Unfortunately, most washers and dryers have motors and controls at the bottom, making them more vulnerable to flood damage. However, stackable units or wall-mounted models might be worth fixing, especially if their electrical components stayed dry.

🚿 Bosch Dishwashers

Bosch dishwashers, though excellent in performance, house their main control board in the bottom—a part that’s likely compromised by floodwater. In most cases, it's better to replace or upgrade to a new model for reliability.
