The fan probably needs to be oiled? just stops I'm not sure this is the model, it's an indoor outdoor model can you help me?
Does it slow down and stop after it has been running a little while (having had a chance to warm up?) Try this simple test with the fan cool and warmed up--- With the switch off, gently rotate the fan by hand. It should rotate very easily, and should coast to a stop not too abruptly. It should be about as free, and coast not quite as long, as the front wheel of a bicycle in good repair held off the ground. If it doesn't rotate freely, then yes, it needs oil. You might be able to get some oil on the bottom bearing without disassembly, so that's worth a try, especially if the fan is harder to turn warm than cool. If it's the same warm and cool, there's a good chance that there is hair wrapped around the shaft, and you will probably have to disassemble it to remove that - and while you are at it you can oil the top bearing. If it DOES rotate freely by hand, then you have a problem with the motor or the speed control, which is a whole other story.
