Usually resetting the 'Service' breaker on the main control box resolves this. If not, even though your remote receives data, you may still want to replace batteries in the remote. Next would be a faulty remote transceiver board ( cheaper to replace than the next item), in the unit with the antenna, or the mother board (the more expensive item).
