WeatherKing Air conditioner remote control not working
If your WeatherKing air conditioner remote control is not working, start with the simple checks before blaming the air conditioner. Most of the time, an air conditioner not responding to remote commands has a problem with the remote control itself or weak, dead, or poorly seated batteries. Install fresh batteries and make sure the unit responds from the control panel. If the WeatherKing AC works manually but the AC remote control is not working, the remote control is likely defective and should be replaced. If a known-good remote still will not operate the unit, the next likely cause is the main control board. The board contains the infrared receiver that reads the signal from the remote, and if that receiver fails, the air conditioner will not communicate with the remote even though the rest of the unit may still run.

02 - WeatherKing 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.
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.
