When a fan does not work, be sure it is getting electrical power from its button and from the circuit breaker or fuse box. The problem of the ceiling fan starts. There are few points to check before solving the problems like switch, coil, circuit breaker, regulator, electric supply and many other minor things.  
Repairing
A fan is basically an electric motor with the propeller or drum-like blades. With bathroom and range-hood fans, the easiest fix for a motor that has burned out or stopped running is often to close off the power, open up the fan and replace the fan motor. A project like this usually does not involve doing any electrical wiring. As most of the fan motors simply plug into a receptacle mounted inside the housing. 
 
Stop trouble of a ceiling fan:
Get rid of surplus noise by checking for these easy-to-fix troubles. Make sure things are tight over time so that screws or nuts and bolts can shake loose. Check all of these and also see if the unit is loose where it attaches to the ceiling. If there is excessive participate, remove the base cover and tighten nuts, bolts and mounting screws. Identify with that stopping squeaks, hums or grinding noises could just require a little light lubricating oil on bearings or pivoting mounting points. Heal the wobbles and put an end to one source of noise. Check to see if the blades are hanging level. It can be seen when the fan is in motion as well as at a standstill. Push the fan back into level while it is turned off. Listen for any humming noise at the fan motor. This can indicate that there is power to the unit but a seized bearing or worn brushes or windings are charging the fan from functioning. Make sure there is no bad switch on the fan unit or on the wall. These can both be easily tested with a cheap circuit tester and replaced for a low cost. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers at the central electrical box of the residence. Plan to replace the fan if the fan will not turn at all because of a bad motor. As most fans are inexpensive enough that mending cost would outweigh the cost of replacement.
