It depends on if it is still running on setting 4...maybe. I was not real clear on that.

If 1-3 are toast but it runs without noise on 4 there is a chance the resistor is all that needs replaced. I say chance because often the reason the resistor burns out is that the motor is too high a resistance itself so the windings int he resistor heat up until they fail.

If 1-4 are not running I think cleanflamtrap.com has a diagnostic to eliminate the switch as the (unlikely) cause.

In the end, odds are it is a blower motor and resistor replacement. The same website listed above gives you a beautiful picture-rich guide to the entire process of the "yard-sale" repair.
