Fedders Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Fedders air conditioner remote is not working, start with the simple checks before assuming the unit has a major control problem. The most likely cause is the remote control itself, especially if the air conditioner still responds when you press the buttons on the control panel. Replace the remote batteries first, since weak or dead batteries can make the AC remote control not working seem worse than it is. If fresh batteries do not help, or only some buttons work, the remote control is likely defective and should be replaced. If the Fedders air conditioner is not responding to remote commands but the remote appears to be sending a signal, the next likely issue is the main control board. The board contains the infrared receiver that picks up the signal from the remote, and a failed receiver can prevent communication even when the remote is good. Enter your Fedders model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact remote control, main control board, or related replacement part for your specific air conditioner.

01 - Fedders Air Conditioner Remote Control

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 - Fedders 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.
