There is a fault with your electrics to the fan/switch. Get in an electrician to fix it.

------------------------------------------------------------

The switch is bad. Turn off the power to the fan in the main panel, turn off the breaker

that powers the fan. Usually if you remove the bottom cover of the fan you can see the switch. You can remove the switch and take it to a electrical supply store and they will match the switch. The wires should all be color coded so you should be able to put in back in and hook it up. Black to black, white to white.

It is important to have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the issue to prevent any safety hazards.
