My Ulitiech fan suddenly stopped working. What can I do to get it to work again. Or is it my new door stop?

My cord on my utilitech floor fan was severed by my table saw and I’ve spliced the cord and it still won’t work. Could there be a reset button or something I’m missing?

You title this on how to remove the fan blades then don’t actually show how to remove the fan blades but get the whole motor with the fan blades attached.
