Twice now my heater has shut off. Screen black and won’t power on. I pull off the control panel and there is water/moisture at the bottom edge of the control board. I dry it off. Put it back together and it fires right back up and works fine.

The bezel and its gasket appear to be warped a little and not seating/sealing and letting the rain water in. I had it covered over the winter it fired right up on opening but two days of rain this weekend and it shut off.

Aside from replacing the gasket and finding a way to keep that area covered… any suggestions?
