An electrical storm messed up a ceiling fan switch. The fan is an old
Hunter - the kind that runs in an oil bath - and it had a 2 way switch.
Hard to find such but I did and installed it. Line in, 2 wires
out...one for high, one for low.

The original switch functioned High-Off-Low-Off. New one is
High-Low-Off-Off. Can anyone tell me what the problem is with the new
one?

Personally I don't really see a problem. :-)

I suggest you turn the power off and with a meter check out the possible
wiring combinations of that switch. There should be six

1 2 3
P H L
P L H
L P H
H P L
H L P
L H P

I suspect one will give you High-Off-Low-Off and another
Low-Off-High-Off

Frankly I would just leave it alone if it were mine.

Gremlins are not nice - but I also loathe pacers and hornets.
It's easy to make the switch if you're not a fan. They'll make a
rambler out of me yet!

In order to define poor, we must define good, and good is subjective at best, at times.
