Thermostats.. to late to save 'em?

[FatTailPro]

I had 2 Johnson thermostats in a box in my basement. Of course with my luck, a pipe leaks and the box gets soaked. I'm not even sure how long the box has been wet. I'm a little iffy to try and see if they still work. I figured they're doomed for. Any of you think they'd still work? Maybe if i rewired them?

I recommend you dry them out, plug them in and see what happens.

you can get silica gel from craft shops which is used for drying flowers. it absorbs moisture quite effectively. seal them in a bag with the silica gel for a couple days and give 'em a try!

a hair dryer can also be put to use to dry them out if you can open the enclosure.

good luck!
