There is a thermal resistor on the inside of the motor which goes out with age. It is not expensive, a dollar or two, but it can be tricky to replace. I cannot tell you what size the resistor is since I have not opened the motor yet.
mcdevito75 here, You may be able to match up the factory switch with a switch from a large hardware store, home depot, etc. or you could try to contact your fans maker plus.com nline.
you may be able to get a replacement motor in your area,but it will most likely cost as much as a completley new fan.these type motors in my area usually run around 100.00
I have seen a number of oscillating fans where the push-pull knob just pulls off. It will require a serious pulling effort - straight up. Do Not use any tools. You may have to have a helper hold the fan while you pull the knob.
After the knob comes off, push the shaft back down with your finger to allow it to clear the housing.

I can draw a diagram of how the existing switch is connected, but I don't know how that would translate to a replacement switch.
