Dwayne, Try a new battery in remote, if that does not fix, replace your remote, replacements can be found at the larger hardware stores, eg. home depot, lowes,etc.
I would recommend contacting one of your local electrical lighting stores. There are ways to reset the remote and getting it talking with the fan again. There are so many different models out there, and they all work a little different when it comes to programming them. If you have a a good lighting store like Kendall Electric or something like that they should be able to help you out. It is possible that the receiver in the fan has gone bad also. Any good electrician should be able to swap out the receiver for you and get you going again. Good Luck!
I have changed the remotes on 5 Hunter fans in the last 3 months. They have a problem with how some of them mount, that makes them drop down and vibrate loose. If you do not have a wall switch for it, you may want to go to pull chains, or just replace the remote. It is NOT the controller you hold in your hand, but the part in the fan. (never the easy way right?) The remote is not hard to change, but you DO have to let the fan hang from the holder on the ceiling bracket, It gets too heavy to hold while you change the remote.
All but one of the remotes I have changed, came from a mass market type of builder/handyman store, and they have just replaced the part at no charge.
The remote-controlled fans that I've seen all have DIP switches in the transmitter (the "remote") and receiver (up by the fan). For the remote to operate the fan, both sets of switches have to be set to the same code. If you happened to bump the DIP switches (and change the code) while replacing the battery, the fan would no longer respond to the remote.
It's been four months since you posted this problem, so you've probably figured that out by now. Still, other users may run into the same problem occasionally.
Under the dome (where the electrical connections are) is the receiver unit for the fan. It could be that it is no longer working. Also the remote may have dip switches to change the frequency channel (sometimes located behind the batteries) check that these have not been changed or check they correspond to the receiver unit on the fan.
