Help... Smart ATO Lite not working

[Levinson]

I found my Autoaqua smart ato lite sensor above the water level and it wasn't pumping the top off water into the tank!
The sensor light was on as normal so I suspect it's the sensor issue and not the pump (the sensor light would blink when the pump is on).

There was enough water in the top off tank.

Cleaning the sensor didn't work.

Unplugging and replugging didn't work.

Not 100% certain but it looks like there's moisture inside the sensor unit. Also, the magnet inside the sensor unit seem a little dirty. Could it be that the water have gotten inside and '**** it up?

I've been using it for about a year or a little less. Is there anything else I can try or is it done for?

Sensor could be toast. Can you order replacements?

No.. the sensor is pretty much the unit itself and are not sold seperately.

So I left the sensor unit out of tank to dry and the tiny water drops that I could see inside are mostly gone.
I tried reconnecting it (with the sensor out of water) and it is working again.
I think the water got inside the sensor somehow and that's why the sensor was working as if it was inside the water.
I want to leave it to dry for a few more days and try sealing it so the water can't get inside.
Any suggestions as to what I could use to seal the sensor casing? Something reef safe of course. Would silicon, super glue or apoxy be good enough?

I’ve had issues with this unit and there is no US seller , so literally no warranty

I would just use some reef safe silicone Mabye super glue would work but silicones prob better.
