We have in one room a AUX gold premium a/c with a yk-f/001 remote control. Suddenly the rc doesnt go below 24 degrees. Is there a way to reset?

Look for a small hole that may or may not be labelled "reset". Probably on the back of the remote or in the battery compartment. Using a paperclip, depressing the recessed button for 10 seconds should reset the remote.

If you can't find a reset, try removing the batteries for a couple of minutes.

Is it working again?

Any indication on the lcd screen that the remote is locked?

Try pressing the temp up and down buttons at the same time and holding them for 2 or 3 seconds.

No not yet. No indication and your trick didn't work either. Have to order a new control probably.

Try changing the batteries in the remote. If that doesn't work it's either a circut board problem or your low on gas.

Did you try cycling through the different modes on the control?

Had similar problems with our bedroom unit and had to replace the motherboard controller in the unit itself, as the remote was fine.

Reset control, check Freon as recommended. Try turning off the circuit breaker for 10 minutes. If that does not work, the indoor unit on the wall should also have a reset. Usually a lower panel opens and has a small push button that you use a paperclip or pen tip to push and hold for about 10 seconds.

You describe two different problems? The hand control will not lower the unit temp. as displayed and that the compressor sounds like it has a load. Try all the above and then... call a repair man.

Good luck. (Ac in winter? LOL)
