Ceiling fan slowest speed not working

ceiling-fan

My 3 speed ceiling fan seems to have lost its slowest speed. The high & medium speeds works OK, but the slowest speed does not work now. Any ideas?

I'd guess the switch. But as has been noted in previous questions, there are several configurations of this switch (different terminal arrangements, low/med/hi versus hi/med/lo), so replacing it requires examining both old and new switches and, ideally, having the circuit diagram for the fan available. Unless you're pretty confident with such things, you might want to have someone more experienced deal with it.
