The other two are electrical.
Ceiling fan running slow on high.
Luckily finding out the source of the problem is not all that difficult.
Ceiling fan speed problem the torque to drive the motor of your electric fan comes from the magnetic field induced in the motor coils when electricity passes through the coils.
Sometimes either or both the switch and capacitor fail.
Loss of bearing lubrication and poor blade balance.
Running for 24hrs a day.
Ceiling fans that operate at speeds slower than normal can have one of four problems.
Is your fan running slow.

The ceiling fan would turn on by using the wall switch but it would only work on one speed low speed.
