Coleman Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Coleman air conditioner remote is not working, start with the simple stuff: weak or dead remote control batteries are the most common cause. Install fresh batteries and make sure they are positioned correctly. If the unit still runs normally from the control panel but the air conditioner is not responding to the remote, the remote control itself is likely defective and should be replaced. On some Coleman models, an AC remote control not working can also point to the main control board, since the board contains the infrared receiver that picks up the signal from the remote. If that receiver fails, even a good remote will not communicate with the air conditioner. Whether you are dealing with a Coleman room unit or a window AC remote not working, RepairClinic.com can help you match the right remote control or main control board to your repair. Enter your full Coleman model number to find the exact replacement part made to fit your specific air conditioner.

01 - Coleman 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 - Coleman 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.
