It is probably irreparable. But more worrying, when switched on and not rotating it could be getting seriously over heated.
Has it occurred to you to take it down, dismantle as necessary, and see if any dirt etc is causing moving parts to stick?

Claggy moving parts, dismantling & cleaning, reassembly and a spot of light machine oil are the same the whole world over.
Guys, I really appreciate your replies.
The next step is;
I will do the necessary checking and dismantling and will share the outcome when its all done - hopefully the right way. Otherwise, I will have to get a new one!
Thanks anyway.

Thanks for all the responses.
I wanted to take one of the fan down and know what I finally decided its not my cup of fan - so to speak! I know nuts about electrical connections and I knew this when I saw all kinds of colored wires there. Rather than risk a shock - or it may even be worse - I passed the duty to the guy who knows it better. And I decided to also change the dining hall ceiling fan too -- so now I have 2 brand new shining, latest technology fans with ABS blade.
I can do some simple DIY things that do not require any 'serious' electrical wiring - and I may elect to look up basic wiring lessons over you tube!!
Have a fun day.
