Anyone of our dealers can get one. If you need it quick you can use a fan dimmer from hardware store.

I installed a ceiling fan speed control switch last season on my boiler and the switch failed after a few months. The cheaply made switch couldn't handle the amperage of the motor I was controlling. This season I purchased the following rheostat designed for hand routers. It is working well and is reasonably priced.
