Electrical issues FR3 30 DS

Good morning:
We just had a water line in the kitchen sink area blow out. Needless to say, it's not easy getting back there. We also lost power to the TV directly above the sink and the outside TV (which FR placed right below the sink) dumb move on their part. Checked all the Circuit breakers and fuses....waiting for RV tech to come as hubby is older and can't physically fix this. What else could have happened to the wiring? Yes I know, it got wet, but other than placing a fan under the sink and hoping for luck, what can I do? MH still under warranty but not sure if this will be covered....Any help, tips will be appreciated.
Thank you
RDANGER

you have tripped a GFI outlet. They protect any outlet within 6' of a water source. that is why your outdoor tv is out. look in all outside compartments. You progably have 2. one is in the bathroom. The one with test and rest buttons on it.

Thank you. I can only locate. One GFR switch and it’s in the bathroom. Can’t locate any others. Still no power!
