Amana Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Amana air conditioner remote not working issue shows up as the unit running normally from the control panel but ignoring the remote, start with the remote control itself. Replace the batteries first, since weak or dead batteries are the simplest reason an AC remote control not working problem starts. If fresh batteries do not help and the air conditioner responds correctly to the buttons on the unit, the remote control is likely defective and should be replaced. The next likely cause is the Amana air conditioner main control board. Its infrared receiver picks up the signal from the remote, so if that receiver fails, the air conditioner will not respond even when the remote is sending properly. This can look like a window AC remote not working or an air conditioner not responding to remote commands.

02 - Amana 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.
