A fan cools you down by forced convection. Where the heat flux from your body is carried away by air making contact with your skin. Theres is a proportion between air flow and air temperature. So to cool you down air flow needs to be strong enough to compensate for the hot air.

Should ceiling fan switch be up or down in summer?

With a typical fan, run the fan counter-clockwise in the summer, and in the winter, run the fan clockwise at a low speed. In the summer, blow the air down to directly cool you. If you have a large room, and you are on the outside of the room, you may want to run the fan in the opposite direction. In the winter, blow the air up on slow to pull the cool air up, mixing the cool air with the warm air at the ceiling, and pushing the air across the ceiling to the walls, then coming down the walls, and minimizing wind chill.

Why is your refrigerator blowing warm air?

Your compressor is not working. Through evaporation compressors cool the evaporator coil and the fan blows air across it. So if the fan is blowing hot air the compressor is not cooling the coil. But check to see if the dial inside the fridge is turned to "more cold" , that turns the compressor on.
