If the remote control is no longer effective, let's replace the battery first.After replacing the battery, reset the remote control.The reset is different depending on the manufacturer, and there is a method of pressing the reset button or holding and holding one of the remote control buttons.See the air conditioner instruction manual for a detailed reset method.Also, check if there is no obstacle between the receiving unit of the air conditioner.

If it still does not improve, check if the signal is transmitted from the remote control.Infed rays can not be confirmed with the naked eye, but the signal can be confirmed by shooting the light receiving part with a smartphone camera function or digital camera.

Try shooting the light receiving part while pressing the button of the remote control.If the signal is sent from the remote control, the light will be reflected.If the signal is not reflected, it is highly possible that the remote control is broken, so consider replacing the remote control.

If there is no abnormality in the remote control, the failure of the main unit is suspected.Pull out the power plug, leave it for several minutes, reset the main unit, or press the emergency operation button to explore the possibility of failure of the main unit.The emergency operation button is often located in the air conditioner front panel opened.The position of the button is different depending on the manufacturer and model, so check the detailed location in the instruction manual.

If the liquid crystal display of the remote control becomes thinner, it is highly likely that the battery is reduced.Let's replace it with a new battery.It may also be solved by resetting the remote control.

In addition, some models can adjust the depth of the LCD display depending on the remote control.In that case, first check that the display is not set thinly when the air conditioner LCD display is thinned.

Many manufacturers do not repair remote controls, so they basically buy a new one.The cost of replacing it with a genuine remote control of the manufacturer varies depending on the product, about 2,000 yen to 10,000 yen.

Some products are called "general -purpose remote controls" that can be operated by the air conditioner of multiple manufacturers.

For example, the ELPA aircon remote control "RC-36AC" is compatible with 13 major domestic manufacturers in Japan.At the Amazon actual selling price of 1608 yen (including tax), it can be purchased cheaper than the genuine remote control.

However, general -purpose remote control can use the main functions of the air conditioner, but may not support some functions.If you want to use all functions, prepare a genuine remote control.
