Not at all unlikely that you’ve got a 3 speed fan. Unusual to still have medium speed when the first speed goes as I believe they share a common earth.
If I remember correctly (I tested one yesterday!) Toaf will only run the fan for a few seconds even though there is a start/stop button, and you need the slider moved to the mid-way position.
New 2 speed fans are available, but I would advise you to open the fan motor and see the state of the commutator and carbon brushes. New brushes are available, and you might only have to replace one or two to bring the fan back to life. I’ve done about 8 three speed fans and brought 5 back to life, the others suffered from excessive commutator wear.
Good luck
