Troubleshooting Fan Switch Replacement of Fan-Tastic Roof Vent Where Only 1 Speed Works

Question

Question:

My fan-tastic fan model xw8100dm would slow down then speed back up. I changed the switch and the motor. Know it only runs one speed. What do I need to do to get my 3 speed switch to operate correctly. This is in my Itasca Meridian 2013. Thanks

If you for sure used a 3 speed switch like the # FVK1031-05 as a replacement switch it would appear that the wiring of the switch might be messed up. I'd check that to see if that allows the different speeds to function again.

I attached a diagram that shows how it should be wired.
