So my bathroom fan hasn’t been working since we moved into this house about a year ago. Today I decided to try and take a swing at it to no avail. So I am hoping someone here can help me out. The power at the switch reads .3 volt when off and 0 bolts when on. Same reading where the fan plugs in inside the fixture. The fan does not work even when plugged straight into an a known working outlet. The light inside the fixture reads 120 and works fine. Is this a case of replacing the fixture ? Is there more troubleshooting I can do ?

Sounds like the motor has gone bad, at least. Probably needs to be replaced, depending on the age of the house and fixture.
