Danby Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Danby air conditioner remote not working is the problem, start with the simple checks before assuming the unit has failed. Fresh batteries are the most common fix, especially if the display is dim, the buttons respond only sometimes, or the air conditioner is not responding to remote commands. If new batteries do not help but the Danby AC still works from the control panel, the remote control itself is likely defective and should be replaced. For a window AC remote not working, also make sure nothing is blocking the signal path to the unit. If the remote is good and the problem continues, the main control board may be at fault because its infrared receiver has to read the remote’s signal and send commands to the air conditioner. A failed receiver or control board can make it seem like the AC remote control is not working even when the remote is sending properly. Enter your Danby model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact remote control or main control board that fits your specific air conditioner.

01 - Danby 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 - Danby 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.
