LG Air Conditioner Remote Controller (Old Model)
ر.س20.00 Inclusive of VAT
The LG AC remote (old model) is a genuine replacement handset in the AC Remote accessories category. Its core job is to wirelessly send operating commands to your LG indoor unit, letting you manage the air conditioner from across the room without touching the unit’s onboard panel.
Within any AC setup, the remote is essential: without it, the air conditioner is effectively unusable day to day, since you can’t easily change the temperature or switch modes. This part is in constant demand across the Saudi market because of how widespread older LG air conditioners are in homes, offices, and commercial buildings, and because remotes are frequently dropped, lost, or worn out under heavy daily use. Choosing the genuine replacement over a universal remote ensures full support for every function the unit was originally designed to perform.
Key Features
- Compatible with older LG air conditioner models
- Full-function control: temperature, fan speed, and operating modes
- Original design ensures a perfect fit and reliable performance
- Easy to use, no coding or setup required
- Durable construction for long-term reliability
- Clear button layout with responsive operation
- Powered by standard AAA batteries (not included)
Benefits of Using This Product
Choosing the genuine remote over a universal replacement delivers real, practical advantages:
- Full function support: Universal remotes often cover only basic buttons. This genuine replacement matches your older LG unit exactly, so every mode and setting works as intended.
- No programming or setup: No codes to enter or manual pairing like universal remotes require, it works straight out of the box.
- Reliable response: The original button layout and responsive operation reduce mis-presses and repeated signalling.
- Longer lifespan: Durable construction means a longer service life than cheap alternatives.
- Cost-effective: At just SAR 17, replacing the remote is far cheaper than replacing an indoor control board or the AC unit itself.

Compatible Models
This remote is built for the older generation of LG split and window units, the type still running in a large share of Saudi villas, offices, and older apartment buildings. It is not the correct handset for LG’s newer ranges: if your unit shipped with the newer flat-fronted controller, you need the LG AC remote for the Indonesia series instead.
The quickest way to confirm which one you need is to compare your original remote against the product images above. If the original is lost, send your LG AC model number or a photo of the indoor unit to the Cool.sa team on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm the right match before you order.
Common Use Cases
Customers typically buy this remote in the following situations:
- Replacing a lost remote: The most common reason, the original remote is missing and a matching replacement is needed.
- Faulty original remote: Signal has stopped working, or internal circuitry was damaged by a drop or battery leakage.
- Worn-out buttons: Buttons have become unresponsive or eroded after years of heavy use.
- Spare stock: HVAC technicians and commercial facilities keep one on hand as a ready spare.
- Routine maintenance: Part of servicing older LG air conditioners in offices and villas.
Why Choose This Product (Genuine vs. Universal)
| Criteria | Genuine LG Remote (This Product) | Universal / Generic Remote |
| Full function support | Yes, matched to older LG units | Often partial |
| Setup | Works out of the box | Requires code entry & pairing |
| Response accuracy | High | Inconsistent |
| Durability | Durable, long-lasting design | Often lower quality |
| Confirmed compatibility | Designed for older LG models | Not guaranteed |
That said, a genuine remote only helps if it actually matches your unit. If you can’t confirm which LG generation you have, or you’re managing several ACs of different brands across a villa or furnished apartment, the KT-LG-2 universal remote for LG air conditioners is the safer choice, it auto-searches the code library and covers both the older and newer LG generations.
How to Choose the Right Product for Your Unit
To make sure this remote fits your AC before you buy:
- Confirm your unit is an LG and one of the older models (not the newer display/Wi-Fi types).
- Compare your old original remote against the product images (button layout and overall shape).
- If your old remote still exists, note the model number printed on the back.
- When in doubt, contact Cool.sa on WhatsApp +966 54 066 3777 with your LG AC model number to confirm before ordering.
How to Use
- Open the battery cover on the back of the remote.
- Insert two standard AAA batteries, matching the (+/−) polarity — batteries are not included.
- Close the cover and point the remote at the indoor AC unit.
- Press power, then set your temperature, fan speed, and operating mode as needed.
No programming or pairing is required, it’s ready to use as soon as the batteries are in.
Maintenance Tips
- Use good-quality AAA batteries and avoid mixing old with new to prevent leakage.
- Remove the batteries during long periods of non-use (e.g. travel) to protect the internal circuit.
- Wipe the remote with a dry cloth; keep it away from water and liquids.
- Store it away from direct heat and avoid drops to extend its life.
- If the signal weakens, replace the batteries first before assuming a device fault.
