Ten year old kitchen fan with light assembly. Fan rotates but has burning smell. No smell with only light on.

Get up there with screwdrivers and find out! You need that funky fanblade-driver tool first, but once you get the blades off and things cleaned, you can deal with pulling guards off and finding the key screw to the ceiling ball retainer, etc. Don't forget to get the breaker off before you get down to the wire nuts....
Or: Craigslist the old one and require the buyer to get it down.

There is a 4 position (dip) switch on both the fan housing and the remote. Make sure these switches are set exactly the same and the remote will control the light and fan separately. If not, the remote may be getting interference on the preset frequency - try CHANGING the dip switches to a different setting and the remote should work.

I had the exact same problem. To solve it, I had a friend hold the area
of the fan that the globe screws into. I wore rubber dish gloves to get
a good grip and pushed up slightly on the globe as I turned
counter-clockwise. My friend held the other part and turned clockwise a
little as well. It took a lot of pressure for it to finally come loose
and then we just turned it about another 90 degrees and the globe slips
right out of the groove.
I couldn't believe how hard this was to do.

go to Home Depot, not only do they have replacements, but they can order for you what you need. Hampton Bay is the Home Depot brand.

unplug the fan then remove the batteries from the remote then plug the fan back in and, reinstall the batteries; this resets the fan control
