How to Factory Reset a GE Universal Remote

Your GE universal remote is unresponsive or failing to control your devices correctly. You can resolve these configuration issues by performing a full factory reset.

1. Press and hold the Setup button until the red light on the power button stays lit [0:26].
2. Tap the Mute button once [0:41].
3. Press the zero button to complete the reset process [0:45]. The red light should blink twice to confirm the remote is restored to its original factory settings [0:49].

Ninja Tip: If the remote still acts up after a reset, open the battery compartment and remove the batteries for 30 seconds to drain any remaining residual power. This often clears out temporary glitches that a standard button-sequence reset might miss.

If the remote remains unresponsive after these steps, verify that your batteries are fresh and properly seated.
