Bosch Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Bosch air conditioner remote is not working, start with the remote control itself. Replace the batteries first, making sure they are installed in the correct direction and that the battery contacts are clean. If the Bosch air conditioner still works from the control panel but the air conditioner is not responding to remote commands, the remote control may be defective and need replacement. The next likely cause is the main control board. Many Bosch units use an infrared receiver on the main control board to pick up the signal from the remote, so a failed receiver can make it look like the AC remote control is not working even when the remote is fine. Weak or dead remote control batteries can also cause intermittent operation, limited range, or only certain buttons working. If your window AC remote is not working after fresh batteries and the unit responds normally by hand, replacing the remote is usually the right fix.

First, try replacing the batteries in the remote control. If installing fresh batteries doesn’t solve the problem and you can still operate the air conditioner manually, the remote control might be defective. If you think the remote control is defective, replace it.

02 - Bosch Air Conditioner Main Control Board

The main control board has an infrared receiver that receives signals from the remote. If the infrared receiver is not working, the remote control will not be able to communicate with the control board. If you suspect the main control board is defective, replace it.

03 - Weak or Dead Remote Control Batteries

The remote control is powered by batteries which may have become too weak for the control to work. Replace the batteries with new ones to see if that resolves the issue.

04 - Replace remote control

If the unit responds correctly when the control panel buttons are pressed, but does not respond to the remote control, or only certain functions of the remote control, the remote is likely defective and will need to be replaced. Refer to owner's manual for guidance.
