Turn it off...
One of the things to do is if your ceiling fan is being operated by a dimmer, set the dimmer to the highest setting to stop it from humming or replace the dimmer switch with a regular wall switch.
If controlled by a dimmer, the selected setting will cause the ceiling fan to make a humming or buzzing noise due to the motor getting ruined. Oiling may be required.
single-phase induction motor is used in ceiling fan.
There is no 'brake' on the motor. It simply continues spinning until friction slows it to a stop.
A capacitor start motor is used in a ceiling fan.
To properly install a ceiling fan in your home, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the ceiling fan location. Install the ceiling fan mounting bracket. Connect the fan wires to the ceiling wires. Attach the fan blades to the fan motor. Secure the fan motor to the mounting bracket. Install the fan light kit (if applicable). Turn the power back on and test the fan.
Ceiling fans can stop working suddenly due to issues such as a blown fuse, a faulty motor, a broken pull chain, or a problem with the wiring. It is important to troubleshoot these potential issues to determine the cause of the fan's malfunction.

There is a specific type of ceiling fan made for outdoor use. Outside ceiling fans are made with protective coatings and material to protect the motor casing to keep out moisture and other outdoor elements that could cause a regular, indoor fan to stop working.
A ceiling fan capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help start and run the fan motor. It contributes to the smooth operation of the fan by providing the necessary power for the motor to start rotating and maintain a consistent speed.

An electric ceiling fan was invented by the man who had engineered the electric motor used in the first Singer sewing machines, Philip Diehl. In 1882 he adapted that motor for use in a ceiling-mounted fan.
