Goodman Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Goodman air conditioner remote is not working, start with the simple stuff before blaming the unit. Weak or dead remote control batteries are the first thing to check, so install fresh batteries and try the remote again. If the Goodman air conditioner still is not responding to remote commands but works normally from the control panel, the remote control itself is likely defective and should be replaced. If a new or known-good remote still will not operate the unit, the next likely issue is the main control board. Many Goodman air conditioners use an infrared receiver on the main control board to read signals from the remote, and if that receiver fails, the AC remote control will not communicate with the air conditioner. RepairClinic.com can help you match the correct Goodman remote control or main control board to your unit. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part made for your specific air conditioner, so you are not guessing at fit or compatibility.

01 - Goodman 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 - Goodman 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.
