Chances are that your main thermostat failed. However if it was just a few drops of water on the thermostat, it might have red a lower temperature than actual tank temp, and might be OK once dry.
Do you have a thermostat to check the temp? That will give you an answer. If it is over 140F, then the main thermostat might have failed, and it is shutting off on the 160F safety thermostat.
Replacement thermostats are fairly cheap. You should be able to buy one for less than $35, perhaps less than $20.
Good luck,
Fred.
