Really?? I'll try it oh. You mean that infrared LED in front right? That small "bulb".
make I rant gist una small.

Most of the rechargeAble Fans wey I get, I bought either USEd or outrightly not working (aboki Condem) BUT e get one wey I collect from one of my clients. Was bad so they were glad to give it away and that one had remote control.

Then I picked up 2 toy cars that uses remote control and repurposed it to work for my Fans, along the line, one of the toy Car's remote refused working BUT the other worked so I used it for one of my Fans. Now the things just dey work like kiLoDe.

Just sharing this so you guys havee ideas. I believe there are remote sensors in the markket you could buy and repurpose.

e get one bad Energy saving LED light that uses remote control I got from a neigbour. It's remote control is flat like those of some radios. I also plan on rePurposing it to work with one of my Fans also, just don't have time yet.
Mind you, most of my Fans don't even have circuit boards again as most were so bad i just connected directly to the DC motor with a switch of course BUT to add a remote control no hard - na to just use the idea of a switch.

Already narrated what transpired which is the deal fell through and he has refused to refund on the day he promised and to crown it all he deleted his WhatsApp account and his number has been saying busy.
Like I said, it’s so unrelated which mean the person isn’t a Nairalander.
Just need the right contacts (any force)

Who has used or is using this firman 11kva hybrid inverter? Please how is the performance?

Or what's the general performance of firman inverters? Are they okay, can we place them in the same league with srne

Please any solution to hotplate wires and connection point getting burnt?

Replace with appropriate sized cable and replace socket with good make. Connections and contact not strong enough leads to arcing which leads to burning.

You cannot get it wrong with this.
Buy A&T socket and "Tokonbo" plug.

How about a Shocking Hot plate?

It was not shocking when initially bought, but now it’s shocking, when you touch the pot you placed on it; you feel that electric movement.

Obviously means there's contact somewhere. If you can't spot it yourself, involve a technician

Check for leakage voltage which may occur due to breakdown of cable insulation which happens due to heat generated by the hotplate and corrosion as the hotplate gets older.

Is there any precautions to take to avoid it from stopping to work?
I currently own one bought few months ago, I won't like the remote to stop working

A lot of times, those things are cheap and not made to last. The ones that could Last longer, the PRICE often are scary to the average person.
For me, all the DC fans I own, I either inherit them as not working, or bought USED or paid few nairas to acquire from Aboki condem.

As for the remote control feature, If I need such feature, adding is super simple and most times, depending on your approach, could be done without handling soldering iron sef.

You can't really stop it from not going bad, but if you have access to people that sell remote and can code it, you can take it to them to help you copy the code onto a new remote that you can keep as a spare
