Only issue I can see is where the makeup air comes from. The washer doesn't matter, but if the dryer, furnace, and water heater all turn on at the same time, they each need air input. Putting everything in one room can cause an issue where it's easier to suck air through the output of another appliance than suck air from inside the house, and that can leave ...

It's over.
They are beyond saving. There was a chance when it was very fresh and wet, and if you started with the right thing (paint thinner) as mentioned on the paint can's label. But once it dries, or you set it with the wrong chemical, it's all over but the shouting.

As indicated by isherwood your air gaps are mandatory. This is to prevent return of waste water into the appliance. In your setup you have an air gap but only one and also only one trap.

The cost of replacing the electronics will probably be more then it is worth to fix and you can get a used one cheaper.
But if want to make sure you can pay to have an appliance repair person come out and tell you what it would cost to repair.
The latch in most cases is just a ...

Also check the water fill hose. Some of them have a screen to trap particles. If the screen is dirty, it will slow the water flow as well causing the machine to "time out" and go directly to drain.

HE soap will improve the situation. But it seems the real problem you're having is the soapy water backing up into the first floor dishwasher. How is that even happening without waste water flooding the first floor kitchen?
You need to get the super involved in this. There are a number of ways to prevent backflow into a dishwasher which needs to be dealt ...

More than a few times I have found water lines plugged at the entrance to the valve on the washing machine or at the connection to the supply valve.
Most washers come with screen filters to prevent chunks of material from getting stuck in the valve and flooding the home.
I would turn the hot off, take the hose off at the faucet first if there is a screen ...
