I noticed last summer the bottom 2 speeds on my Toy fan for h/c seem to be
GONE...the top 2 are enough for heating and cooling but the top speed in
winter can get obnoxious.Do you think this is a fan motor problem or is the
fan ran off a rheostat that can be replaced? Goaty

Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you
bounce.

It is likely the resistor pack that controls the motor speed that needs replacing. Typically, you lose the lowest speed first,
then each successively higher speed as each resistor segment fails:
