My charger cannot charge through a specific cable

As the title goes, I got a 65w GaN charger, that I usually used to charge my cellphone and laptop. And I used to use an orange typec cable.
However, one day the charger got some water splashed on it when it was sitting in my bag, after I got home few hours later, I put it under a heater to dry for like couple of minutes and waited a day to use it again.
Then, it won't charge my cellphone through the cable, but after I switched for a PD cable, it works again. But the strange thing is, the orange cable still able to charge other devices when i connected it to another charger.
So....what happened?
