Hotend fan not spinnig after slightly touching it

Hello,

I accidentally touched the hotend fan when it was running (I have a MINI+). It stopped for a second and resume running for a while. Now it cannot start again. It seems extremely fragile just to stop spinning because I slightly touched it a second.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks,

Suggestion

Did you try turning you printer off and on again?

Check for blade obstructions

Make sure the fan blades aren't stuck or crooked. A bit of debris can block them.
