The motor still works but the the fan blade isn't grabbing the motor. Is there any way I can fix this myself or do I have to buy a new one?
 
Did you remove the assembly and check why?

If the center of the fan itself is carved out and spinning on the shaft (seems unlikely, but whatever), then all you need is a fan. I think it's just held on by a clip...maybe the clip failed/fell off and that's all you need.

You might want to confirm first so you know exactly what you need to ask for etc.
 
I'd guess you'd have more luck just buying another fan and motor. I wonder if the motor seized and the fan kept going, or maybe the bearing(s) went out and the fan grabbed the cage... How does the motor feel if you try to spin it?

If you get just a fan, be sure to get the retainer as well...or is it stuck in the radiator?
