Remote and fan stopped connecting -- no changes and batteries are new
My ceiling fan which has a remote contol and has worked for several years suddenly stopped responding to the remote. Batteries are fine, no changes in "dip switches" on receiver or remote. Another fan on the same circuit responds to the remote. What should I try?

with Hampton Fans,, normally if the remote is good with a known good battery , and it quits working,, its the remote receiver, not the actual remote that goes bad. you can contact these guys I heard they have the part you need

the remote does control the light. i think it's the bottom button, once to turn it on, again to turn it off. there should have been a blue wire connected in to the wires in the ceiling, this is power for the light. if only the white, black, and copper are connected, the light part won't work but the fan will (usually)
Turn the power off to the fan / light by flipping the breaker or pulling the fuse and keep off for 10 seconds then turn back on, it should reset the contol receiver in the fan.
There is a battery in the hand held remote and another battery in the receiver which gets tucked into the ceiling mount cover. Remove the ceiling cover and you will see the battery there, usually a 12 volt battery.
The upp/down slide is a dimmer.
In the event that changing the batteries doesn't solve your problems, Hunter makes replacement remote sets, available at Home Depot, lowes, etc and usually around twenty dollars.
Have you contacted Hunter? Have you turned off the wireless internet to see if fans work? You may have to try another internet brand or try moving to another part of the house.
