Unfortunatly that is a common thing with most manufactorers now a days! they are not in the service industry. make it, sell it, dump it, make a new one. and the cycle goes on and on. You may be able to find a repair person who can fix the fans for you at a reasonable cost.

Joel, you could have anything from a loosened connection in the connection box above the fan, in the fan, or in the wall switch if installed.
because the remote or pull chain will not start the fan, it tells me the fan windings or bearings are probably bad.
I don't know what age this fan is, or the cost, but if it is a typical hardware type fan, I would look into a new one.
If for some reason, it is one of the more expensive fans Hunter makes, [over $200.00] it might be worth looking into repair, anything under $100.00 you will spend more finding the issue than a new fan would cost.
Let me know, we are experts in ceiling fans, especially older fans, some of those are very expensive, built with brass cages, have custom blades, I hand wound one hanging in an Art Gallery to this day, cost twenty years ago to rebuild it completely was over $2000.00 [four zeros]
It is a very common repair cost versus new price evaluation, you have a problem in that two devices will not start the fan, one mechanical method and one electrical which is 90% chance it is something fairly severe in the fan.
You can send me the some photos or estimates of the cost, if it is one of the high dollar fans, I can help you find a shop locally to look at it, again if it is a typical off the shelf unit, get a new one.

Probably a bad capacitor. What model is it? If it completely wireless (in other words: no pull chains for light or fan) the capacitor is located on the receiver for the fan (in the canopy or the lower switch housing). Unless you are handy with a soldering iron, it is easier to purchase a replacement receiver.

If it has a chain, buy a light dimmer switch so it will not have 1 speed anymore. If it has a remote control, buy a new remote control like your old one. Try different numbers on remote control.

You will most likely need to replace the receiver with a new one from hunter. The receiver is actually a complete controller and contains the receiver, relays (which you hear clicking) and starting condensors(large capacitors which hold a charge that is "dumped" over the windings to get the motor to start from a dead stop). These appear to be pretty tightly assembled unless you have a desire to start replacing parts "off the board."
