Westly:
If it there is an accumulation of stuff, clean it and see if that helps.
Dust or no dust, check that it is properly connected -- it may have
worked loose. If neither of these ideas work, it's probably time to buy
a new one. Since most CPU fans are cheaply made, they don't last very
long. The good news is that replacements are inexpensive, the bad news
is that each CPU requires a different configuration, so be sure that you
get one that will work with your system. Also, I've found that there are
various ways of supplying power to them: Some designs connect to the
motherboard, others plug into the power supply. In my limited
experience, that isn't a problem, though.
