The wires to the probe are designed to go behind the door seals of fridges
and freezers for which IME they work fine.

Obviously with a washer I would put the probe in the *top* of the door, so
that any minor leakage when the wire is in place would cause no real
problem, I could not possible envisage an permanent damage to the seal. Run
the machine empty.
