The more common statements regarding a remote control not
functioning are…
“My remote control does not work from the other side of
the net”
“My remote control does not work at all”
This indicates one of the following:
The remote control switch is off
The battery in the transmitter is weak
There is interference in the signal
The remote control is faulty
The remote receiver antennae is stuck inside the receiver
Your remote is not connected
Step 1 –Replace Battery In Transmitter
a. Check the key fob or transmitter, if the LED
indicator light is weak or not illuminating it
indicates the battery is low on power and the
battery needs to be replaced.
b. To replace the battery in the transmitter
unscrew the screws on the back, note the
orientation of the battery before removing
the old one and then replace the battery.
c. Press the sweep button to ensure the led

comes on before you screw the keyfob back
on.
If the LED light on the transmitter does not illuminate after a
replacement battery has been installed then the transmitter is
faulty and a replacement is needed. If the transmitter is broken
inside or is “rattling” then a replacement is needed.

If the issue is not resolved then Go to Step 2.
Step 2 –Checking Interference and Reception
1. Remove the control panel and look at the wires leading
to the Remote Receiver. There should be a single thin
black wire with no clip or attachment at the end, this is
the antenna.
The antenna should be “hanging” down loosely in the
machine to maximize reception from the transmitter.
If the issue is not resolved then Go to Step 3.

Step 3 –Check For Faulty Remote Control
1. Check to make sure the remote switch
on the control panel is in the “on”
position.
2. There is a 20 second delay before the
feed wheel begins to rotate when the
machine starts up the remote is also not
usable during this time.
3. Hold down button on transmitter for 1
second to register.
4. Unscrew the four screws to the
control panel and pull it out and
to the side being careful not to
disconnect any additional wires.
5. On the green electronic board
(PCB) find the connection labeled “J22”
(EL0L- EL03 models) and ensure the
connectionfrom the receiver is firmly
connected.
