Gibson Air conditioner remote control not working

If your Gibson air conditioner remote not working problem has the unit ignoring commands, start with the simple checks before assuming the AC is bad. Weak or dead remote control batteries are the most common cause, so install fresh batteries first and confirm they are seated correctly. If the Gibson air conditioner still works from the control panel but the air conditioner is not responding to the remote, the remote control itself is likely defective and may need to be replaced. If a new or known-good remote still will not operate the unit, the issue may be the main control board, specifically the infrared receiver that picks up the remote signal. When that receiver fails, the AC remote control not working symptom will look like a bad remote even though the problem is inside the air conditioner. Whether you need a replacement remote control or main control board, enter your Gibson model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your specific air conditioner.

01 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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.
