Best bet is to replace the switch. You may want to check the current draw of the motor. The switch failing is usually a symptom of the motor going bad. The additional current draw causes the contacts to weld or the switch itself to begin melting. Dennis

It won't turn anymore. Stuck on the 3 setting. If I hold it hard to the far right, the blower will turn on, but as soon as I let go, it stops. Is there a way to fix this bugger?
