Friedrich Air conditioner remote control not working
If your Friedrich air conditioner remote is not working, start with the simple stuff before replacing parts. Weak or dead remote control batteries are the most common reason a Friedrich AC remote control is not working, so install fresh batteries and make sure they are seated correctly. If the unit still responds when you press the control panel buttons but the air conditioner is not responding to the remote, the remote control itself may be defective and need replacement. On some Friedrich window AC models, the problem can also be in the main control board. The board’s infrared receiver picks up the signal from the remote, and if that receiver fails, the remote cannot communicate with the air conditioner even if the remote is sending a signal. If only certain remote functions work, or none work after replacing the batteries, compare the symptoms with the remote control and main control board checks.

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.

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.
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.
