Wahoo condensation

[stoatsngroats]

I noticed recently that my Wahoo Elemnt seems to have some condensation in, which doesn’t affect operation (yet).

It was quite a warm day, and didn’t disappear at all throughout my 46 mile ride.
It was kept in my bike during the previous weeks, and charged the day before.
Any ideas what might be the issue, and how it could be resolved?

Put it in a bag with some dried rice in a dry place the house . Otherwise silica gel that comes in packaging works just as well.

Fantastic, that’s a great idea, I’ll do that now!
I’ll post later how I get on.

My nephew went out in a thunderstorm and ended up with a waterlogged iPhone. He drained most of the water out of it but the phone still wouldn't work and there moisture visible on the screen. Someone suggested the bag of rice/dry place trick.

He put the phone in a bag of rice, chucked it in the back of an airing cupboard, and was bought a replacement phone ( !)... He forgot about the old phone. About a year later, his sister found the bag of rice and fished out the phone. They plugged it into a charger - it came to life straight away and worked perfectly from then on.

Surprisingly, it sounds like the bag of rice trick can work!

Yes just make sure phone not turned on and back and battery out if at all possible.

And you can still eat the cure, too! 🥘
