Possible Causes

Dead remote batteries, blocked IR receiver window, faulty IR receiver board on indoor unit, remote control failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Replace batteries: Install fresh, correctly oriented batteries in the Kelvinator remote.
  • Check IR transmission: Point the remote at a smartphone camera and press a button; you should see a flashing light on the camera screen if the remote is transmitting.
  • Clear line of sight: Ensure nothing blocks the IR receiver window on the indoor unit.
  • Use manual button: Some Kelvinator units have an emergency ON/OFF button under the front panel; test if the unit responds to that.
  • Replace receiver board: If the remote works but the unit does not respond, the IR receiver/display PCB may need replacement.
