Ceiling fan - blades not turning

I have a 30inch (approx) ceiling fan in a bedroom and it has stopped
working.
It does not have a remote.
The light is working fine.
The blades do not turn but I can hear the motor running when the blades
are turned on.

So, the power seems to be going to the blade motor(or whatever) but the
blades aren't turning.
The blades will spin easily by hand. They are well balanced and they
have never been noisy.

I cannot remember the make.

What might the problem be?
