How to Fix Your Xfinity Remote- 9 Ways To Fix It

Firstly, check the batteries of your remote before proceeding further. 

• The Xfinity remote has a red LED light that blinks whenever you press any button. 
• But if it blinks several times, it implies the batteries are low and should be changed. 
• Whereas if the light doesn’t blink at all, it indicates that the batteries are completely drained and must be replaced.

To begin, ensure that your Xfinity remote is properly configured.

• Different TVs connect to the Xfinity remote in different ways, so double-check that the remote is paired correctly.
• Refer to the user manual to complete this process.
• For voice control models go along the instructions displayed on the TV.

Xfinity devices such as smartphones and PCs can have a code error (or) malfunctioning of any apps. 

• Reboot your Xfinity device to restart the operating system and apps from the start.
• Simply disconnect your Xfinity device and wait for a few seconds before plugging it back in.

An Xfinity remote sends radio frequency and infrared signals that must be in direct line of sight from the remote’s end to the device. 

• Clear soundbars and other decorative items placed in front of your TV and Xfinity device’s infrared receiver.
• Ensure both Xfinity device and TV are close enough i.e. about 10 feet (3 meters).

Remote buttons can become clogged with dust, grime, spills (or) other materials. 

• Remove the batteries from your Xfinity remote and press all the buttons.
• Shaking (or) tapping the remote against your hand can help in releasing any stuck buttons.

Both your TV and Xfinity remote use infrared beams to send and receive signals.

• Open your phone’s camera app and look at your remote through the screen.
• Press any button on the remote.
• A working remote will have a red light blinking through the camera screen with each button press.
• If you do not see a red light, the remote may be defective (or) the batteries are dead.

If you find that your remote has no control over the cable box unpair and repair your remote. 

• Press and hold the “Setup” button until the LED at the top of the remote changes from red to green.
• Then enter the code provided by Xfinity to re-pair it.
• If it doesn’t work, try resetting the device. Simply unplug it from the power source and plug it again.

If your remote is controlling the wrong device, make sure it is set to the right device by pressing the TV, AUX (or) DVD button at the top of the remote. 

If everything else fails when troubleshooting your Comcast Xfinity remote, you can factory reset it.

• Resetting your remote to factory settings will return it to its original form. All of your settings and pairings will need to be reset.
• Simply click on the “Setup” button on the remote.
