Glad it survived. If you have some Caig DeoxIT D5, give it a couple of sprays. I use it to clean, lubricate and deoxidize audio and electronic components, and to care for remotes and fobs.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
With both my Tri-Glides i kept the FOB's out of the washing machine..But come awful close a few times.........Very easy to make that mistake....Good thing you caught it in time and didn't run it though the dryer....

When I'm on a lengthy trip, one fob is always in a zippered jacket pocket, the second one without battery is usually zipped in the shaving kit, separately stored from where its keys are located. However, on local rides without a jacket or vest, it just goes in my jean pocket.

Dumb question........ do you open up the remote and spray inside (and remove battery
first)?
got to get some of that
I have washed mine 2X in 2 years & it's still working. I thought that was listed in the manual as a maintenance item.

No question is dumb, when it's asked in earnest with sincere intent. But if you have a means to treat the internals without opening the Fob's Case, by all means do so....and please clue in the less informed.
Been using it for 20+ years to clean the pins on audio tubes, the sockets on tube amps. Handy stuff to have around for sure, if you're into electronics, especially for home and car audio components.

My fobs for both my '14 and my '17 have been through the washer multiple times, and the dryer at least once, with no apparent ill effects!

I've never come close to doing that. I have so much junk on the ring and a red 4" long "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" tag so it's pretty much impossible for me to leave it in any pocket.
Now, my challenge coin is another issue.
