phouse is absolutely correct. Ideally you could remove the electrical boards or modules and bake them at a low temp (150 F). This is 65C which is well below the upper temp spec of automotive parts which is at least 85C and often 105C or higher. Set your oven on low, put a thermometer in there to make sure you aren't going too high, cook 15 minutes, remove foil and stir mashed potatoes... Hair dryer is a great idea also but not for potatoes...
