I was testing my air con and found it would not start using the remote control. The only option was to start it using the start button on the air outlet facia but you have no other control all on the remote.
All that happened was the fan started but the compressor would not run!
The last time I used the air con in summer it was set to cool to about 20 degrees and the van today was 18 degrees. I tried selecting 23 degrees on the remote and pushed the send button, but nothing happened, even the little WiFi send icon flashed on the remote but no go.
How to test this remote was simple just get your phone out select camera and face the remote in front of the phone camera very close even out of focus and hit a button on the remote and you should see a small light flash if the infrared LED is working. You cannot see this light with the naked eye.
The Heron Q remote is not meant to come apart so it was break the thing open and there was the problem where the battery connected to the PCB was corroded and one positive track had failed so I soldered it back and cable tied the remote body together but does not look nice but works.
For anyone that needs to replace the Heron Q remote there is a company that has a similar one for $99.00.
