Besides variable speed and three speed, Homestead offered three control types in the 80s. Some fans had a 5 speed dial, these controls were largely without problems. The other controls were called "Homestar" and "Superfan", both of these are very prone to problems. Homestar was a knock-off of Casablanca's InteliTouch and Casablanca will upgrade Homestar fans to InteliTouch for a cost. Superfans used a DC servo motor and variable control, this was a very unique system, but is generally not repairable.
By and large Homestead's most prevalent problem was flywheel failure. A large number of American companies in the 80s used a certain make of flywheel that was prone to failing. Since most Homestead fans had 6 blades, the flywheels had more weight on them, and a greater number broke. Replacement flywheels are still available, see "flywheel replacement" section.

Fans made in the early and mid 80s were reported to have a defective hanger bracket, which could possibly cause the fan to fall from the ceiling. There is no formal recall.
