Ceiling fan stuck on "High."?

My wife and I have a ceiling fan that is controlled by a remote mounted in the wall (no pull-strings or switches on the fan itself). For a while now, it has been %26quot;stuck%26quot; on the high setting when on. The lights still turn on and off when we press the buttons on the remote so it's still functional, but the speed stays on the highest setting anytime the fan is powered up. When I press the different speed buttons on the remote the light comes on suggesting it is sending the signal to the fan, but the engine setting never changes.



It has gotten very annoying since we cannot turn on the lights without powering up the fan, and we cannot power up the fan without the fan itself being on its highest setting, which sends any loose papers in the living room flying.



Any idea what it could be and how it could be fixed? Is it worth fixing? Or should we just throw in the towel and replace the entire fan.Ceiling fan stuck on %26quot;High.%26quot;?
i had a similar issue, except mine wouldnt turn off. the problem lies with the remote. take the remote apart and clean the contacts under the buttons with alcohol on a q-tip. if that dosent work, replace the remote.Ceiling fan stuck on %26quot;High.%26quot;?
Change the batteries in the remote. Even though the light comes on, the signal may be weak. Same thing happens to my TV remote.
