We have this ancient Kenmore box fan that we don't want to throw out because it's a champ. Metal body, metal blades, two speeds and reversible. Makes that crap at wal-mart look weak in comparison.
Everything runs fine aside from the low fan speed. You initially press it when you have not used it for a while and it will spin up to a low and quiet speed but after a few minutes it starts to ramp up to about 80% speed. From then on unless you let it sit for ten minutes or so you can press low and it will always go back to 80% speed. Something's not right but there's just a switch block, thermostat and the fan motor. No resistors or capacitors or much of anything else can be seen.
