I had just under a foot of water in my house and my two week old speed queen washer was in there. I ran it after and it seemed ok what y'all think will I have problems in 6 months or no

No. Flooding doesn't ruin laundry machines IMO.

especially a foot. I still see a lot of Katrina survivor washer and dryers, and rarely is any failure due to them being submerged.

a foot would cover the motor on a dryer. I'd claim it even if it's working now.

I should have specified washers. though if it's a washer with the pcb motor control board mounted on the floor then it's toast as well. But it wouldn't come on if so.

It also depends if it was allowed to dry full before it was powered up again.
