I have a Hampton Bay Windward 2 fan (with remote). One day as the light was on, it died out. As it was Autumn, the fan was not on. I changed the bulb and noticed I had no power to the fan (no light or fan rotation). What might be the problem and how should I handle it? Do I need to take it back to the Depot?

Probably a bad receiver. Take it back if you bought it recently.
