Frigidaire Air conditioner remote control not working
If your Frigidaire air conditioner remote not working problem started suddenly, begin with the simple checks before replacing parts. Fresh batteries solve many cases of an AC remote control not working, especially if the display is dim or the unit only responds some of the time. If new batteries do not help but the air conditioner still works from the control panel, the remote control is the most likely failed part and should be replaced. When a window AC remote not working issue affects every button and the unit will not respond even with a known-good remote, the problem may be the main control board. The board contains the infrared receiver that reads the signal from the remote, so a failed receiver can make the air conditioner not responding to remote commands even though the unit itself still has power. Check the owner’s manual for any reset or pairing steps, then enter your Frigidaire model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact remote control or main control board that fits your specific air conditioner.
01 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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.
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.
