Sanyo Aircon Remote Control Manual
Heberto Calderon
If your AC unit is powered on, but has suddenly stopped working, then your unit may have an overload current detected. This happens when the cooling system works overtime, and uses excess energy to perform the cooling operation for your room. Your air conditioner stopped working as an overheating fail-safe that protects your unit from damage due to overloading.
As long as there is no burning or smoke smell, there is no cause for alarm. Simply wait for your unit to cool off, then inspect for any signs of a clogged air filter, refrigerant leaks, or worn capacitor. Troubleshoot according to the root cause of the problem.
If your AC unit won't turn on at all, check first if you have a power failure within your home. See if other devices are functioning just fine, or if they also won't power on. Check the availability of your power supply, and look for a tripped circuit breaker connected to your unit. Flip the switch back into its original position to reset the connection.
If your circuit breaker trips often due to your air conditioner, unplug other devices from the same circuit, and observe if the problem goes away. Otherwise, you may need to check for an active circuit failure, or contact an electrician to check the cause of the circuit failure for you.
Another reason for this Sanyo air conditioner error is a broken capacitor and compressor. The compressor runs the entire HVAC system, which is why when this component breaks down, it can mean the end for your AC unit. Similarly, the capacitor is responsible for the flow of electricity around your unit. Have technicians inspect your unit for replacements.
An air conditioner detecting error signal issues with your unit will flash error codes to alert you of potential problems within your air conditioner. These error codes indicate the problems with your unit, including the indoor discharge air temp sensor, air discharge port, system controller, and other components within your AC unit.
To reset your Sanyo air conditioner, turn your unit off first. Unplug the power cord from its socket, and wait for 30 seconds before plugging the power cord back into the electrical outlet. Power your unit back on, and see if this resolves your aircon issues.
Select models may have a reset button on their remote control unit. You may need a pin to be able to press and hold the reset button on the remote controller. Press and hold the reset button for 3-5 seconds until the unit powers off, then wait for the unit to restart, and see if this solution fixes your air conditioner.
The first step in troubleshooting your Sanyo air conditioner is to check the error code flashing on the screen. This code will indicate the underlying problem detected within your unit so you can figure out how to troubleshoot the root cause of the aircon issue. The error signal will also indicate where the issue lies: either with the indoor unit or outdoor unit.
Cross-check the error code with your user's manual, and follow the troubleshooting steps that follow. More often than not, your air conditioner manual will have step-by-step solutions in troubleshooting common problems with your unit.
Make sure you have the correct user's manual with you for your specific Sanyo air conditioner. The error codes of one model or aircon type may be different from the rest, and the troubleshooting steps may differ as well. Always use the manual written for your unit model.
No time to wash your filters clean? Vacuum up the dust and debris instead. Use your vacuum cleaner with a nozzle or brush attachment to gently remove excess dirt from your air filter, evaporator coil, condenser coil, and other components in your cooling system. This will help reduce the amount of dust blocking the airflow in your unit, and clear the system of dirt.
Use a can of compressed air as well to dislodge any stuck-on grime from your AC unit without damaging any parts or components. Cleaning your AC unit this way is not a deep cleaning solution, but is a quick fix to get your Sanyo air conditioner up and running again.
Most aircon issues with your Sanyo unit will have quick fixes you can do at home, but without tackling the cause of the aircon issues, these problems will pop up again and again, wearing down your air conditioner. Avoid costly repairs from late-stage, damaged units, and have aircon technicians inspect your air conditioners to fix up any weak points beforehand. Contact us for a free consultation!
Aircon maintenance is what lengthens the lifespan of your Sanyo air conditioning unit. Air conditioner cleaning, checkup, and maintenance will help detect weak points and potential issues before they become problems, so you can have these issues fixed early on.

Automatic heating and cooling
The air conditioner automatically performs heating and cooling operation based on the difference between the temperature setting and room temperature. All indoor units in the same refrigerant system can be operated with a single group control.
Simultaneous operation of multiple units (Group control)
Group control is suitable for air conditioning of a large room using multiple air conditioning units.
- One remote control unit can control up to eight indoor units.
- All indoor units have the same settings except for the airflow direction.
- The temperature sensors at the indoor unit side are used.
This is used to set the operation mode of the indoor units and to set the flaps.
- Before use, check that the slide switch has been set to the position shown in the figure above. For details on how to set the slide switch, consult your dealer.
When mounting the wireless remote control unit on a wall for use
- Before mounting the wireless remote control unit on the wall, place the unit at the mounting position, press the ON/OFF operation button and check that the signals are received properly.
- To remove the wireless remote control unit, disengage it by pulling it toward you.
- Do not operate the wireless remote control unit too far away from the signal receiver.
Doing so may cause operational errors.
Make absolutely sure that the wireless remote control unit and signal receiver are both in the same room. - When operating the wireless remote control unit, point it directly at the signal receiver.
A beep is heard when a signal is received properly. - Avoid places where the wireless remote control unit will be obscured by curtains, etc.
Remove it before operation.
The signal receiver has an address switch for signal reception, and the wireless remote control unit has an address switch for signal transmission.
4-way (X) air conditioner is equipped with auto flaps.
You can set the airflow direction to a specific angle or to the sweep mode using the remote control unit. CAUTION Do not move the flap with your hands.
