Replacing 3way ceiling fan switch

[deb7225]

I bought a fantec switch and re wired it just like the old one. only got a very low low speed only. I went to a web site that showed the wiring and did that, now I only get high speed. The switch is attached to a transformer with 2 wires, gray, brown & purple. Can anyone help me get this right.

The switch should be wired just like the old one– whatever wire went to L goes to L, whatever wire goes to 1 goes to 1, etc.

Am I understanding that the original switch only had three wires? There are two different types of 3 wire switches, one for 2 speed fans, another for 3 speed fans. How many speeds is your fan supposed to have?

PS what make and model is the fan?
