    Ceiling fan blades turning slowly after replacing 3-speed switch. What's wrong?
    We just replaced the 3-speed switch on our ceiling fan but the blades are turning very slowly and not changing speed at all. This was the problem we were having prior to changing the switch. Is there something else that could be wrong with it?

    What make is the fan?

    Put the original switch back in.

    The problem is likely the capacitor as KISS states. See:
