I had a similar problem after I replaced the fan and resistor, finally 
cleaned the switch contacts.  I pulled the controls out, disconnecting the 
belden cables which gives access to the switch contacts.  I put some 
electrical contact cleaner on a paper towel and run it thru the contacts, 
opening and closing the contacts with the switch controls just enough to run 
the paper towel thru with alittle resistance,  it pulled alot of dirt out I 
had fan control at all speeds.
