Question
Hello, I have an electrical appliance that needs immersion in a mikvah, and I wouldn't want it to get damaged. In the past, I immersed another electrical appliance I had, and it got ruined. I would appreciate knowing about other options, if available, for permitting the use of the appliance. Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
Appliances that get damaged by immersion can be exempted from immersion by having a Jewish technician disassemble and reassemble a main part of the appliance's body.
[Simple mechanical appliances can be immersed without concern, shake out the water thoroughly, and wait a few days until completely dry. Electronic appliances with a control board or touch screen are easily damaged by contact with water].
