It's not a single pole double throw switch. It's a switch that supports multiple forward speeds and a reverse speed.
This isn't as simple as a rheostat (variable resistor), since making A/C motors run at multiple speeds requires that you change the period of the electrical signal and not its amplitude.
And I have no idea how you make an A/C motor run backwards...

My ceiling fan has started to "growl" on speed only.
Is this typically; the capacitor or a matter of lubricant ?
"The capacitor"? Huh?
Likely the bearings are going.
Greetings fellow linux user!! You don't find many of us, but the number is growing.

Knoppix doesn't count :-(
Or line voltage has been altered.
Lubricant.
Indeed it is. Greets.
Perhaps you are just getting your ceiling fan confused with your dog ?
