It seems your doorbell transmitter got wet and corroded the contacts. These push buttons are not sealed at all and thus will let rain, snow etc. eventually corrode the electronics. Solution: Find a new push button on eBay.
Heath-Zenith (I beleive they bought DESA) makes a battery remote push button bell that says its compatible with all Heath Zenith chimes. I bought one at Home Depot and it worked for my SL-6195-RX. (an on line doorbell seller and the Home Depot assoc all said it wouldn't work.) UPC is 16963961975. Item also shows a code "11G43" on a sticker on the back of the package.
The contacts in the outside push button unit may need cleaning. They do get dirty over time. If that doesn't solve your problem you can contact the Zenith Company, who is now is the manufacturer for tech service issues. 800-858-8501.
