It is most likely a blown capacitor. Some electricians can repair the fan, but unless they are expert you will probably have to replace it. If it is under warranty take is back and get a new one.
My experience is that first check to see if the fan is getting electricity. If the fan unit has lights, do these come on? Or check the wiring using a volt meter. Listen for the fan motor, etc. As examples, maybe you blew a fuse, maybe the light switch is damaged, etc. After you have ruled out electrical, can you turn the blades manually? If they are jammed, it probably is a loose screw that has come undone or some other obstruction. Most of these fans are designed to operate for over 10 years so their electronics are tough.

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.
What is the normal rotation of a fan?
Not all fans do that. Some are also reversible. Also the direction of turning is opposite if you observe from the opposite side.A bit more:On ceiling fans, they are made to be reversed for a reason, so the blades can either pull the air up or push it down. For example, on mine, with the way the blades are tilted, when it goes clockwise, it pulls the air up, pulling the warmer air upwards. When I flip the switch to reverse the direction to counter clockwise, the blades push the air downwards.For home ceiling fans, the air should be moving down in the summer time. In the winter time when the home heating unit is being used, the air should be drawn up to the ceiling. This causes a flow pattern that circulates up through the fan to the ceiling, across the ceiling and down the walls to the floor where it gets drawn back up to the ceiling. This rotational pattern draws the warm air from the ceiling and redistributes it to the floor where you can sense the warmth.
