So my controller on the ato got wet and now it’s just beeping and flashing the lights. Pretty sure I need a new one. Is the tunze 3155 still the go to or is there something better now?
 
Did it get wet with fresh or salt water? If fresh in plug it an put it in the oven with just the pilot light on if you can. Another way is in a bag full of rice both will dry it out. Often this will work. Salt water is much worse as it causes corrosion and conducts electricity. If it was salt water take it a part and clean it with electrical cleaner and dry completely. Look for any signs of burning or scorching. You may be able to repair the damage with a bit of soldering. Anything beyond that depends on you electronic skills.
