You should wipe down your electronics with a rag so you have learned. Motor and Engine cleaners will seep into your electronics and cause problems. The fact this has never happened before is just that you were lucky.
Electronic and Nitro cleaners on Servos will dry out the grease that lubes them and any thing wet on a Receiver is just not good for them especially if you did not give it time to dry before the next use. Wet eletronics means shorting out the circuits on the delicate electronics. You may have fried the circuit board on the Receiver.
