    Hello Dear Colleagues

    By accident, I washed the remote control, type as in the topic, after drying the clothes I saw what happened, the LED on the remote control was on.
    For safety, I unscrewed and put the remote control on the radiator and after about 3 hours I wanted to turn it, but the remote did not respond, the LED was off.

    Can it be brought back to life so that it works properly?

    Thanks to everyone for your help.

    Wiping with an ordinary handkerchief or something special? Battery replaced.

    Wiping with a tissue and battery replacement helped, and it worked. The 10 out of 10 gate opening test worked.
