HQRP Universal A/C Remote Control Compatible with LG Panasonic Sharp Samsung Fujitsu Gree Guangda Guqiao Haier Helton Hemilton Hicon Hisense Hitachi Air Conditioner/Fahrenheit displaying

My old Williamson-Thermoflo mini split AC remote was getting weaker to the point that it would only work at about 2 feet from the wall unit. After many battery changes did not fix the problem, and the manufacturer said no replacements were available, I tried this remote. WOW. In under 5 minutes it was up and running with the distance problem solved. It handles all of the original unit's functions. The fast setup feature was the way to go, since my brand was not listed on the list of codes. No worries, it was scanned and found in a matter of a minute. So the battle of the thermostat can now continue without any distance handicaps (I'm hot, I'm cold, etc, etc). And into the night as well with the backlight/flashlight feature. :-) Easy way to change from C to F display on the remote, with the AC on, remote showing C temperature, press and hold OK, until the F temperature is displayed. About 3 seconds. For example, when changing batteries the device code will be retained but the temperature will come up as C so need to use OK to get back to F. And of course set the time.

Just follow the instructions and it works fine

Although this remote has fahrenheit, with the Samsung AQV18 the numbers do not correlate. The lowest the temperature goes with this remote is 77 degrees fahrenheit. Another problem is that the remote stops communicating with the air conditioner, even after I've found the correct channel. Disappointing.

So far, so good with this remote. It seems reasonably well-made. Buttons press easily. Certainly worth the money. It works well after programming for my Sharp portable air conditioner. The only problems are ones I consider minor: 1. With the exception of the temperature reading, most of the items on the display are small, so users over 50, pull out your reading glasses. 2. The "backlight" is really just a mini-flashlight on the end of the remote; it does NOT backlight the display. 3. In Fahrenheit display mode, the temperatire changes by, usually, 2 degrees (perhaps because the temperature adjusts in °C). The bigger problems are with the instructions: 1. The printing is so small that I had trouble reading it (reading glasses again). Only the brand code chart is a reasonable print size. 2. The instruction to change the temperature display between °C and °F is almost hidden in tiny print at the end if the Product Introduction section. 3. Neither the Panel Description nor any other part of the instructions explains what the a/c mode symbols mean, and I can only identify 3 of 5 modes. At least the instructions come in 4 languages besides English (French, Italian, Spanish, and German) for people in a few European countries, most of Latin American and eastern Canada. (FYI, I'm in the United States.)

So there are two parts to the story. 1. The instructions are awful. A vague reference on the battery cover to a "code table", which is still a mystery to me. It took me a few hours of playing around to figure it out. There are 999 possible codes; how are you supposed to find yours??? I finally figured out that you need to hold down the "set" button until it blinks. Then press the up/down button until it starts going through the codes automatically. Switch on your AC manually, and when your AC code is reached, it will automatically shut off. (Note: The codes on the remote will continue running, so you need to be pretty quick and figure out the range of the codes where it shut off the AC, and then narrow it down to yours). 2. Now that I got it working, it actually does a fantastic job! IT controls the various modes, fan speeds, temperature etc. I think it's a very good buy for the price, especially since such replacements usually run in the $30s.

Controls the A/C, but has quirks. Had to set up manually (the instructions state that it will automatically set, but it doesn't). There is a list of supported brands and codes (just like any other universal remote). However, it doesn't hold the code. I've had to reset the code several times. Each time I try to change the mode, it resets or changes the code, do I have to reset it. As long as I leave the settings alone, the code stays. ALSO, the remote comes pre-set in Celsuis. The instructions do not state how to change to Fehrenheit (had to go to Google for that). If you hold down the "OK" button for 5 seconds, the display changes. HOWEVER, the control sends the temperature signal to the A/C unit in Celsuis, so you A/C unit displays in Celsuis even though the control is in Fehrenheit. Otherwise, it controls all A/C functions.

This remote is one of the best universal remotes I've ever seen. It works for all air conditioning units, I am so glad I bought it. It was very easy to set up it comes with the manual inside and the number that your AC response to is normally the Brand number that is also written in the manual. Mine just took about 6 minutes to set up. I also love the fact that the seller gave us batteries, you can see that the batteries don't normally come with this product but he or she added the batteries for us. I am so happy with my purchase

So glad I checked the reviews on this. I have an older Kenmore air conditioner. The remote died & I can't find a replacement. Kenmore is not listed as a brand this will work with. Thanks to another reviewer I knew there was a possibility it would. Followed the instructions to automatically search (air conditioner off, hold "set" button for 6 seconds until the code numbers on the bottom right of the screen start cycling. This may take a few minutes, it goes from 000-999, when the air conditioner turns on, hit "ok"). Now you want to test the code by using the remote to turn unit off & on again. I was able to turn off, but not on. That means the code displaying wasnt correct. My suggestion is to hit the temperature down button & try the next one or 2 codes down. In my case, i initially hit "ok" to late. My kenmore code is 605 . The previous reviewers was 380, I believe. So take the time to let it cycle & you should be fine. If you're able to get the unit to cycle on but it's not working correctly, you may just need to fine tune the code. Also, there is a "light" button which does not illuminate the screen. Its actually a flashlight. Weird, but maybe I'll use that feature at some point, lol.

Je voudrais bien retourner cette commande puisque elle ne correspond pas à mon climatiseur portable Hisense. Merci de m aider comment faire.

Funcionó muy bien el Haier, sin poner códigos no nada.
