If you’ve got yourself a GE universal remote that you wanna set up with all your devices, you first need a code so that you can pair them all up.
While working codes are often found in the back of user manuals, we don’t always hold onto those.
So, let us help you out with some working codes and other tips.
Programming the GE Universal Remote
Here’s a quick look at getting that remote programmed.
Finding the Right Code for Your Device

But if you’ve misplaced it, no biggie – you can always count on us to find the codes for popular devices like TVs, DVDs, Satellite TVs, Cable boxes, Soundbars, and more.

Step-by-Step Guide to Programming
When you’re ready to program your GE universal remote, just follow these steps, and you’ll be good to go:
- Get comfy with your remote: Open the battery compartment of your GE universal remote and remove the batteries. Locate the version number of your remote, which you’ll find on the white sticker inside the battery compartment. You’re looking for something like V1-V5, or the newest versions, CL3 or CL4.
- Power up your device: Make sure the device you want to control is switched on. Also, be sure that your universal remote has a clear view of the device you’re trying to control.
- Press down and hold the setup button: On your GE universal remote, press down and hold the setup button. As you do this, you’ll see a red light on your remote. If it’s not lighting up, make sure you’re pointing the remote directly at the device you want to control.
- Enter the right code: Once the red light is on, punch in the code you found for your device. Once you enter the code into the remote, the red light should blink and then stay on. If the red light turns off after you’ve entered the code, it means the code you entered is not recognized, so you’ll need to try another one.
- Test the connection: Finally, press and release the power button on your GE universal remote. If you’ve entered the right code and everything is set up correctly, your device should turn off. If it doesn’t, just repeat the process with a different code.

Troubleshooting GE Universal Remote Issues
Common Problems and Solutions
Problem: Your remote isn’t responding or working at all.
Solution: Check the inserted batteries, make sure they’re positioned correctly and haven’t run out of power. If necessary, replace them with fresh ones.
Problem: Difficulty programming your remote.
Solution: Locate your remote’s version number on the white sticker inside the battery compartment. Check the appropriate codes list for your version and follow the instructions to set it up with your device.
Problem: Your remote is controlling the wrong device.
Solution: Make sure you’re using the correct codes for your specific device. If you’ve accidentally programmed the wrong codes, you might need to reset your remote and reprogram it with the correct codes.
Problem: Buttons on the remote aren’t working properly.
Solution: First, try cleaning the remote’s buttons and surface with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt or stickiness. If the issue persists, the buttons might be worn out or the remote might have an internal issue.
Changing Batteries
When your GE universal remote starts acting slow or unresponsive, it’s a good idea to check the batteries.
Here’s how:
- Open up the battery compartment on the back of your remote.
- Remove the old batteries and inspect the compartment for any leaks or debris.
- Insert fresh batteries, making sure the positive and negative ends are properly aligned.
- Replace the battery cover and test your remote.
Checking Connections
Sometimes, the issue might be with the device you’re trying to control or a connectivity issue.
To troubleshoot, follow these steps:
- Make sure your device is plugged in and powered on.
- Check any cables or connections between your remote and the device for damage or looseness.
- If you’re using an infrared remote, ensure there’s a clear line of sight between your remote and the device’s receiver.
- Test any other remotes you have for the device — if they’re also not working, the issue might be with the device itself
