The current ZE 208S switch is a 4 wire switch. The chain broke off inside. Zinger no longer offers the old switch, but I'm sure they have something that will replace it. The trick is to insure the new one will handle the 3-speeds in the correct order.

Zing Ear ze208s switches are NOT all the same - the actual switch wafer on the back varies significantly. Some are single-pole making contact with 1, 2, 3 one at a time, others make contact in combinations. Like L123 for high, L1&2 for medium, and L1&3 for low. The number stamped in the center of the back may indicate the difference. I have one with a "4" that is one-pole at a time, and another that is a "21" and makes multiple contacts at a time.
SOURCE: 3-speed switch replaced with hampton bay switch. Only low speed works.
The cause to the problem was replacing a HUNTER fan switch with a Hampton Bay switch. Before removing the old switch, I noted and marked the color and position of the 4 wires. I then duplicated the connections to the new switch.
But the wire positions of Hampton Bay vs Hunter are not identical, therefore 2 wires
were crossed.
The correct way is to note the color of the wires with the corresponding NUMBER
marked on the switches, then duplicate this on the new one.
Du-uh!
SOURCE: Only have 2 speeds on a 3 speed ceiling fan- replaced switch, no
no no the problem is with the switch u need to re programm the wires check the old switch
and make the same conection.
SOURCE: Wiring the replacement 3 speed switch (fan motor)
I called King of Fans and the rep that I spoke with gave me the correct wiring for the 3 speed switch:
L White
1 Yellow
2 Blue
3 Black
The problem is that after I wired it this way I am getting the same result (off on 3 settings and a motor hum on 1 setting). So, either the Westinghouse switch that I bought at Home Depot is not compatible or it is the capacitor. The saga continues.

I am in the middle of doing this now. 1 = Yellow; 2 = Blue; 3 = White; and L = Black.
