I just wanted to get an idea of what the likely problem is.

Dumb question first. Have you tried new batterys? Extremely slim
chance that a weak signal could confuse the receiver. Slim to none I
would say but it's worth a buck for a new battery to try it.

Some of the Hunter fans lack the standard switches and rely on the
remote for all the functions. In this kind of unit the electronics
for the remote are built in to the fan above the light kit. Not much
you can do with these but replace them.

The other kind is a standard fan with the standard switch and has the
receiver for the remote in the canopy above the fan. These are easily
replaced with a new unit.

My best guess is that the receiver is getting flakey. As with
anything electrical when it starts acting funky it is best to cut
power to it until it can be diagnosed and repaired properly.
