if my current remote is inoperative will this unit replace the dead remote . or does it still need the original receiver to work ?

the remote was missing when I bought my house and this worked great...it will work with it's own receiver which is included...just plug it in and hook up a couple of wires...can't go wrong for $17

I had two remotes, one for my spouse and one for me. I tried hers and it worked fine. The only time my remote did not work was when I either punched the wrong button, or the remote was aimed backwards. Also, my remotes have worked fine now for about 6 or 7 months.

If your remote is an indentical model as the new transmitter and your receiver is the same as a new replacement, you just need a new transmitter to replace the dead remote. You would just have to set the dip switches to match your old remote.

If you are replacing the same model units - yes you can use a new remote with the old receiver. You will need to be sure the security dip switches are set in the same positions for both units and all should work correctly.

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.

I don't think so. It needs to be programmed I guess. What do you mean by not working. broken? If not, did you try replacing battery of the remote. I never had a problem so far been using it more than an year.

I think you have to set the dip switches to match on the receiver and the remote, but I'm not sure, I bought mine to replace a broken remote and just set them the same as the old one.

It would help me if I knew that your unit had once worked correctly, but without this info I would suggest to First, make sure the unit is in sync with the ceiling fan (to do this, if able, turn light off then turn light on, press square button in center of fan control and hold button down until light flashes on and off twice then attempt to turn light on/off as normal). Should this not work or wall unit completely not functioning , problem could be in one of two places; (1) receiver unit in the fan itself could need to be replaced or (2) wall unit could need to be replaced. I ended up replacing both of mine since I first replaced the receiver unit and when that failed to fix the problem I replaced the wall unit, which did fix the problem. I hope this will help you. Another option is to purchase a hand held remote, sync it with the light as previously instructed, and if this works you will know the problem is in your wall unit and not in your receiver.

You may be able to use the external sensor that came with the unit and see if it will pick up the remote. Mine worked fine out of the box, but if something is blocking the sensor on the front of the unit, you will have to use the external one. Hope that helps

I lost my remote so I got two new ones. My old remote still worked though fyi. I would still suggest a purchase considering how cheap it is. It could instead be the transponder(or whatever you call the piece in the car) that needs to be replaced. I believe Toyota covers the cost for some models. Hope this helped at least a little...

If you're replacing the bone shaped receiver then it will work with your remote. You just have to remove the small black screw, insert the charger connection into the screw slot to reset the receiver, then push the button on the remote you want to set that receiver to (or any button on the remote if your remote only works for one receiver).

Sounds like the receiver and the remote are not communicating.Sorry I can not help...

Should still work fine. In my case, the directions the directions actually tell you that you will have to reprogram your previous remotes after programming the new one (I missed that and was perplexed until I re-read the instructions). So if your starting from scratch I think actually better off.

I had the same problem. I had to reprogram my old remote too and did it a couple times before both of them worked.

I bought it wrong and it didn't operate the remote receiver. Sorry, can't help.

I am unable to to verify if it would work as a replacement. I used this to replace a much older 473v remote and was still able to successfully pair it with my alarm. I think it will work as a replacement but as to its complete functionality i am unable to ascertain. ( Check review)

It should still work. The new remote picks up the original signal from the garage door motor. It does not reprogram anything.

Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons. I had to do it one button at a time, manually. As to how that works, I'm sorry but I can't remember exactly. I just remember fighting with the thing for a long time. This remote has now become nearly useless, as the main select button has to be mashed hard to get it to react, and the up/down selector ring is also barely functioning. It has also become very position sensitive and has to be pointed directly at the Dish box to work, and is slow even then. I have bought a new Sony RM-VLZ620 to replace it. Sorry I was not more help. If I knew then what I know now about the URC, I would have sent it back. You should too.

That's exactly what it says on the back of the replacement remote. This will work. You may need to have a pro to synch it w/ the existing alarm. I took it back to where I purchased it 8 years ago and they did it for free.

First, I would check the battery and ensure that there is power going into the receiver. Also check that the tiny pins are faced in the right direction. If you recently purchased this item, ask for a new remote/exchange/refund. If you can't get one, then order a new remote or receiver...I am pretty sure they are inexpensive. Hope this helps.
