Has anybody ever washed their phone in the washing machine?

[Adzeh]

Guys it's just happened to me.

Has anybody else done it and if so, did you manage to fix it?

Somebody help me out and offer some tips for what to do. It's now on the boiler to try and dry out.

I heard that you should put it in a freezer to freeze the moisture in side?

Remove the Electrical bits first? That would be a start
Battery & Open wires are a big remove.

I got these two tips from a website:

'I did this once. I placed the phone in a ziplock bag with uncooked rice, and placed the bag under an incandescent bulb. The rice absorbed the moisture. The phone worked, after about a day of drying.

Of course, YMMV. You might also want to try a desiccant, swiped from a closet somewhere.

Good luck.'

'Hopefully you have not turned it on. DO NOT turn it on. As funkbrain said, use a bunch of desiccants, and let it dry for a good week. If you have hard water, and depending on what you use to clean your close you might be SOL. The chemicals could have caused corrosion to the delicates inside the phone. I'd give the desiccant and time a try at least before spending whatever it costs to replace a phone.'
