Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After it was dry it worked to unlock and lock the door, and was able to drive the car....
Tested it out today. Can still remotely unlock and lock the 996 and the key is clean with a fresh scent.
Washer settings: normal duty cycle, cold/cold, Woolite.
Dryer settings: permament press, medium heat, Snuggle fabric softener.
Durrr......
e'trashed - I've gotta hand it to you, you've got ***** for reporting that you washed and tumble dried your key! Most of us would probably never tell another soul about the �incident.�
Heh, I felt like I needed closure on the "incident", so decided to report it to our community. I was in a bit of a panic looking for the key and then hearing something clunking in the dryer at the same time. It was one of those slow motion "Noooooooo!!!" 's.....
Sorry Bruce, I changed the title of the thread for you from "WILL" to "MIGHT"...
One time I went into the ocean with the remote key from my BMW.... After it was dry it worked to unlock and lock the door, and was able to drive the car.... But the gauges went crazy, lite up like a christmas tree. Disconnected the battery to reset everything, and never used that key again.

my son's Nokia survived a wash. I found it when I was unloading the washer, so it didn't get the tumble dry. Three days of sitting on a warm (not hot) radiator and then it fired right up.
My wife just gave me my key while she was folding clothes... it went through the washer and dryer. It's totally deadist.
And it doesn't smell any better. arrrrg.
