If your electric fan (stand fan) suddenly stops working, do not discard it yet. You might just be able to fix it and save money by not buying a new one. First, try to feel or sense whether the motor is still running while it is switched on. If not, it is most likely that the motor needs a rewinding. This costs around P 250-P 280 in an ordinary repair shop. Some shops charge P380 to P 480, so ask around if you have a number of them in your area or community.
Electric fans suddenly halting is usually caused by overheating. They need at least two hours of rest a day for them not to overheat.
However, if you sensed that the motor is still functioning even if the blades are not spinning, it may just need an oiling. The motor oil might just have dried up. You can use Singer oil which is available in any supermarket. Detach the cover screen and the blades and drop some oil at the base of the iron bar sticking out (this is where the blades are attached).
For broken blades or other parts,there are shops who sell replacement parts. Ordinary blades cost around P180 apiece.
