Hotpoint Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Hotpoint 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 Hotpoint AC remote control is not working, so install fresh batteries and make sure they are seated correctly. If the air conditioner still works from the unit’s control panel but the air conditioner is not responding to the remote, the remote control itself may be defective, especially if only some buttons work or none of the functions respond. The next likely cause is the main control board. The board includes the infrared receiver that picks up the remote’s signal, and if that receiver fails, even a good remote cannot communicate with the air conditioner. This can also apply to a window AC remote not working on compatible Hotpoint models. Once you’ve narrowed down whether the problem is the batteries, remote control, or main control board, enter your Hotpoint air conditioner model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your specific unit.

01 - Hotpoint 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 - Hotpoint 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.
