Yashima air con remote control?

[soistalker]

My Yashima air conditioner remote control isn't really working. It keeps turning off. I went to Tukcom, but they don't have a copy or an original. The guy at the night market on Theprasset does not have it. Does anyone have an idea where I can get one?

Cheers

Power Buy, at the back service/cashier desk they sell generic programmable Universal remotes. They usually work on all brands, not too difficult to set, just follow instructions exactly.  Or here: http://www.lazada.co.th/37813431.html?spm=a2o4l.category-031104000000.0.0.D7tnxI&ff=1&sc=EZcV

Or on Pattaya Nua, few hundred meters down towards beach from 3rd. Rd. you pass a big aircon contractor shop, can't miss and there u get those and originals on order. More money than on Lazada. Good luck. MS>

An other guy had also problems with his Yashima remote in 2012, have a look.

Is Yashima the model of the AC. There will be a label on the bottom of the unit. OR the model of the remote? 

 

Have you replaced the battery and given the battery terminals a good clean? 

 

I do not see Yashima as a code on any of the remotes on offer. While the remote is still functioning buy a remote that "learns" or a "learning" remote. That way you can still use the old one to program the new one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Worlds-First-Universal-Learning-AC-A-C-Remote-Control-Copy-Remote-Codes-Fast-/222166661779

 

If all else fails and as it is broken already. Buy a can of lighter fluid , pop the remote open and using an old toothbrush and some Q-Tips give it a good clean. It might just be a sticky "off" button?

@soistalker:  When you were at Tukcom, did you check Amorn in the basement?  They were able to repair my air con remote when I couldn't find a replacement.

Not many phones have an Infrared transmitter.

No, but many now have a USB-OTG connector to which this IR remote transmitter for $6.39 can be connected.  Add in the free app, ZaZaRemote and you can control thousands of AC units.

Had an Ausie mate about ten years ago when I worked in Indo. He used to go into the local food court and change the channel on the public TV.

 

Used to upset quite a few especially if the football was on.

Couldn't or wouldn't?

 

Buy a universal learning one and train it using the original.

Universal remotes do not work on all air cons.  Most but not all.  My generic non-labeled air con with some flavor of Mitsubishi compressor couldn't be controlled by either of the "universal" remotes I bought.
