It mite just be a case of the motor being worn out, I put a new motor in mine.

If your motor is actually turning id say its most probably the speed switch that needs replacing. Apparently the resistor in them fails leaving you with only 1 speed.

and the reason the resistor fails is because water gets into the motor and stiffens the movement therefore slowing the motor down. take the motor out and douse it in WD40 and it will free it up

if it still works on 3 settings then there is no need for a new resistor
