Understanding GE Universal Remote Models
GE universal remotes come in different versions, including CL3, CL4, CL5, and CL6. Each model may use different codes or programming methods. To identify your remote’s model:
- Open the battery compartment on the back of your remote.
- Look for a sticker inside that says “CL3,” “CL4,” “CL5,” or “CL6.”
- Note the model number, as it determines the correct programming steps.
Knowing your remote’s model is the first step to successful programming.
GE Universal Remote CL3 Codes For Roku
For the GE Universal Remote CL3, no specific 4-digit codes are listed for Roku devices, based on the latest information available as of July 2025. This may mean that the CL3 model requires the auto code search method to work with Roku. For comparison, here are the codes for other GE remote models when programming for Roku TV:
- Code for new models: 2891, 1741

Programming Your GE Universal Remote With a Specific Code
If you have a code (for example, if you’re using a CL4 or CL5 model), follow these steps to program your GE universal remote:
- Turn on your Roku device.
- Press and hold the Setup button on your remote until the red light turns on.
- Press the device button (e.g., TV or DVD, as there may not be a specific Roku button).
- Enter the 4-digit code using the number buttons on the remote.
- If the code is correct, the red light will turn off, and the remote should control your Roku.
- Test the remote’s buttons (e.g., volume, power) to ensure they work.
- If the code doesn’t work, try another code from the list or use the auto code search method.
Since no codes are listed for CL3 and Roku, CL3 users should skip to the auto code search method.
Programming Your GE Universal Remote Using Auto Code Search
For the CL3 model, or if specific codes don’t work, use the auto code search method to program your remote:
- Turn on your Roku device.
- Press and hold the Setup button on your remote until the red light turns on.
- Press the device button (e.g., TV or DVD, if there’s no Roku button).
- Press the Play button. The red light will flash every 2 seconds as the remote searches for the correct code.
- Keep the remote pointed at your Roku device. When the device responds (e.g., turns off or starts playing), press the 1 button (or Enter, Mute, or Save, depending on your remote model) to lock in the code.
- The red light will turn off when the code is saved.
- Test all buttons to ensure the remote controls your Roku fully. If some buttons don’t work, repeat the process or try a different device button.
This method is especially useful for CL3 users, as it doesn’t require a specific code.
Troubleshooting
If your remote isn’t working with your Roku, try these tips:
- Check for Obstructions: Ensure nothing blocks the signal between the remote and the Roku device.
- Replace Batteries: Use fresh batteries, as low power can affect programming.
- Test All Functions: If the remote controls some functions (e.g., power but not volume), repeat the auto code search or try a different device button.
- Reset the Remote: Hold the Setup button for 5 seconds until the red light flashes, then release to reset to factory settings. Reprogram the remote afterward.
- Verify Compatibility: Some older CL3 models may have limited compatibility with newer Roku devices. Check the Jasco website for updates.
