My guess just from what you have told me would be the motor on the fan has given up. there aretwo mototrs in it , one to run the fan and the other one makes it ossilate. As a temporary fix if you are able to get the fan apart and access the motor you can give the shaft a manual turn with your fingers and see if it will get it going. also as funny as it may sound sometimes if you just tap on the motor lightly but firmly with a small wrench it will also get it going again. What has most likely hjappened is the little brushes in the motor wear out and dont make a perfect electrical contact once they are worn so a little coaxing sometime gets it going again but no gauranties.
Let me know if this works and you can also let me know the age of it as well. Thanks for your patience and good luck.
if the screw is stripped and you cant acess the motor and if you are unable to remove the screw then you are stuck until the screw can be removed which you can do by drilling it out gently but you may not be able to put a screw back in to it after as the hole will not have the threading in it anymore.So depending on your situation you could try taking it to a repair shop and see what they say but by the time you pay for their services you will have spent enough to buy a new fan.
I am available to talk to live through our chat feature here and you can also speak to me live on the phone. If you are unsure about drilling out the screw get in touch with me through one of these other ways and i will talk you through it step by step.
Thanks for your patience......Kevin.
hope to hear from you soon....

Apparently there is a stripped screw so i can't get the back cover completely off to access the motor. The fan is probably a little over 2 years old.
