What it usually is
Common causes are a failed pull chain, a dead remote or receiver, a bad capacitor or a motor that has finished. If the fan is old or noisy too, replacing it often costs less than chasing parts.
What to do first
Turn the wall switch off and on, check the remote batteries, and make sure the breaker has not tripped. If the fan hums but does not turn, switch it off.
