Why am I not getting power to my ceiling fan?
If your ceiling fan stopped working or is not turning on, it could be because it isn’t receiving any electricity. This could be because the circuit breaker has tripped or is off. Your ceiling fan could also stop working due to internal defects namely shot ball bearings or an overheated motor.
Why does my Ceiling Fan turn off automatically?

Why is my fan not working on my wall switch?
If the switch fails to operate the fan, try pulling the fan chains first. If the fan still fails to operate and you have the switch in the “On” position, there could be a faulty connection somewhere between the circuit breaker, the wall switch and the fan. Isolate the problem by troubleshooting the issues that can cause a wall switch failure.

What causes a blower fan to stop working?
Since these are mechanical connections the blower switch is making to open and close these circuits, over time and use these contacts become pitted and covered in carbon (from the electrical arching that occurs when the contacts close). When this happens, one or several of the blower fan speeds stop working.
