SMC ceiling fans Model CDP42V-LC

[mapleleaves]

I have two of theses fans in situ.  Both 3 speed 5 blade 3 light beauties.  One is running perfectly the other needs a new pull switch.  I made sure of this by removing the good to the bad and yes that's the problem.

The fan switch I need is HITCO HPS 1306.  Impossible to find and not sure what would be a comparable switch.

1-RED (to 5 wire capacitor CJ4WS RED 5,BLACK 3.6,BLUE 2.5uf- 2 yellow)

2-PURPLE

3-BLACK

L-RED

I've tried replacing with Zing Ear 268s2 and only operates all positions on high.  Tried a KTE e87488 308 (pulled from an old smc fan from Restore) and again operates only high all positions.

Anyone point me in the right direction of comparable switches or has an old HITCo switch lying around?

I really don't want to buy a new fan when this one otherwise works great with the correct switch

Many thanks for the help

It's interesting to hear you're having this problem. I'm having the same issue with one of my SMC DJ52s. It also originally had a HITCO HPS-1306 pull chain switch but at some point had been replaced and only runs on high speed also. I've tried two other Zing Ear switches, one of which went to a Hunter. I know that not all 3-speed switches are created equal but I'm just not sure which one to use. If I find something out that works I'll let you know!
