How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No high‑voltage work is required for basic checks, but unplug the unit before opening covers.

  • Replace batteries: Install fresh batteries in the York remote and ensure correct polarity.
  • Check IR path: Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between remote and indoor unit receiver.
  • Test remote: Point the remote at a smartphone camera; pressing buttons should show a flashing light on the screen. If not, replace the remote.
  • Inspect IR receiver: If the remote works but the unit does not respond, the IR receiver board in the indoor unit may be faulty and should be replaced.
