Most owners try changing the batteries in the remote when their air conditioner stops responding. It sometimes works at once however not all the time. In case it fails, you have to check the rest of AC’s parts and track a breakdown. In most cases when an air conditioning unit stops responding to the remote, it’s needed to check the LED light on the top of the remote control. The LED light is responsible for sending signals to the sensor on the interface of the air conditioner unit. If you’ve dropped the remote control, the LED could have detached from other internal components. You will need an infrared sensor card to check if the remote control sends out a signal correctly from the LED. Another consideration is your proximity to the unit. The remote needs to be within ten metres of the unit to function, and there cannot be furniture or other objects blocking the path of the sensor on the surface of the unit. Clean the sensors to ensure there isn’t any grime on them that’s interfering either. Another common cause of remote control damage is moisture. Exposure to a spilled drink or other liquids can cause your remote control to stop working. However, in some cases, the issues are difficult to investigate at once. If your air conditioning unit is not responding to the remote after all those steps above, we recommend you book a diagnostic callout. We offer emergency AC repairs because we know living for just one day without having the AC remotely controlled would be unbearable and uncomfortable.
