White-Westinghouse Air conditioner remote control not working

If your White-Westinghouse air conditioner remote is not working, start with the simple checks before assuming the unit has a bigger problem. Install fresh batteries first, then see whether the air conditioner responds from the control panel. If the buttons on the unit work but the air conditioner is not responding to the remote, the remote control itself is the most likely failed part and should be replaced. If a known-good remote still will not communicate with the unit, the main control board may be at fault, especially if its infrared receiver is not picking up the remote signal. Weak or dead remote control batteries can also make a window AC remote not working problem look like a bad board, so rule those out early. For a White-Westinghouse AC remote control not working issue, RepairClinic.com can help you match the correct remote control or main control board. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific air conditioner.

01 - White-Westinghouse 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 - White-Westinghouse 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.
