How to Reset Samsung TV Remote [Complete Guide]

by admin July 14, 2023 0 Comment 21 min read

Sometimes, the Samsung TV remote may not be working and it won’t control the TV due to some reasons. It can be caused by dead batteries, pairing issues, and obstructions. To resolve the issue, you can reset your Samsung TV remote instead of trying other troubleshooting methods. Once you reset the remote, you need to pair the Samsung TV remote again to test if it works.

When Should I Reset Samsung TV Remote

If you encounter any of these reasons, you can reset the Samsung TV remote to make it functional.

SCENARIOREASONS
1When the remote is not working after changing new batteries
2If a particular button is not responding even though it is paired
3If you couldn’t able to pair the remote to your Samsung TV
4The remote response is very slower than usual after pairing it twice
5If the voice control on the Smart TV remote is not at all working
6If the red light keeps blinking on the remote after a battery change

2. You must check whether the IR signal is properly emitting from the remote to the TV.

3. View the remote head through the camera and press any button on the remote.
