Hessaire Mini Split Remote Control Manual (2024)

FAQs

Why is my mini split not responding to the remote? ›

Dead or weak batteries are one of the most common reasons for remote control failure. Replace the batteries with new ones, ensuring they are correctly installed with the right polarity. Sometimes, even batteries that appear to have charge left can be too weak to send a strong signal to your mini split unit.

The remote will show whether the unit is in Cool, Heat, Fan, or Dry/Dehumidify mode by displaying a symbol (icon) at the top of the remote display. Cool Mode: Snowflake symbol. Heat Mode: Sun symbol. Fan Mode: Fan symbol (circle with fan blades inside it) Dry/Dehumidification: Rain Drop symbol.

Mini split auto mode will allow your system to change fan speed based on the weather and your temperature setting. So, be sure to use auto mode, it's the best setting for mini split efficiency!

Replace the batteries according to the polarity markings on the battery compartment. The air conditioner may not respond to remote commands even if the batteries have been inserted correctly. This could be due to dirt or clogging that is preventing the remote from working properly.

Keep in mind that mini-splits measure temperature at the point of installation, typically closer to the ceiling, so you may need to adjust the temperature slightly higher than what you're accustomed to. Additionally, utilizing the “AUTO” fan setting on your mini-split is recommended.

The dry setting on your mini split is specifically designed to remove humidity. Dry mode lowers the mini split's fan speed so that the humid air moves more slowly over the cooling coil and loses more moisture than it otherwise would. With less moisture in the air, you'll automatically feel cooler and more comfortable.

A good operating temperature for those summer days when it's too hot to do anything but stay inside is around 78 degrees. Is that too warm for you? You can always try a temperature of around 74 to 76 degrees.

A mini split can be left running 24/7 because the systems are designed specifically for non-stop use. In fact, keeping your mini split system running actually makes it more energy efficient and increases its ability to regulate temperatures with its internal temperature settings.

What is the best temperature for split AC? ›

78.8° F (26°C) when at home; 85° F (29.4°C) when away; 82° F (27.8°C) when sleeping. A 10% increase in electricity use is attributed to every 1 degree shift that you ask your air conditioner to make in order to cool your home.

The sun symbol represents HEAT mode. This is the opposite of the cool mode and is used to heat the room, usually during the cooler winter months. A teardrop or water symbol is used to show the DRY mode. This mode is used to reduce the humidity in the room when the air is warm and very humid.

A new mini split not cooling can be resolved by restoring refrigerant levels. After all, as previously mentioned, low levels of refrigerant in your mini split can impede its effectiveness at cooling your house. Low refrigerant levels are possibly caused by leakage in the unit's lines or damage.

If your mini-split system keeps shutting off, a common cause is a faulty thermostat or a problem with the power supply. A blocked condensate line or an overloaded circuit could also be the culprit. Regular maintenance and professional inspections can help identify and resolve these issues promptly.

3. Check the polarity of the batteries. If you've just popped in new batteries and it still doesn't work, slide off the back cover and check the polarity. You'll find the polarities inside of the battery chamber on the back of the remote.
