Frigidaire dish washers suck.

I replaced my fried main board 3 times at $120 a pop until I dumped it.

No, use Lexel. Much better than silicone.

Just air seal your drywall really well.

Use a gasket before installing the drywall. Or just caulk the bottom.

And air seal outlet boxes really well.

Fix the water issue first.

Move downspouts further away from the foundation. Or add soil, and feather it out so water sheds away.

Otherwise, it just becomes a reoccurring issue.

Just make sure the outdoor outlet or breaker is GFCI, and you'll be good to go.
