SOURCE: Wiring the replacement 3 speed switch (fan motor)
I called King of Fans and the rep that I spoke with gave me the correct wiring for the 3 speed switch:
L White
1 Yellow
2 Blue
3 Black
The problem is that after I wired it this way I am getting the same result (off on 3 settings and a motor hum on 1 setting). So, either the Westinghouse switch that I bought at Home Depot is not compatible or it is the capacitor. The saga continues.

To add to red54's comments:
This is what I believe you have:
- one source in the ceiling box (black & white)
- one donwline circuit in ceiling box going to another wall/ceiling box (black&white)
- on switch wire in ceiling box coming from your wall switch (black & white) -- this is the white wire which will be hot when the switch is truned on
Here's how it should be connected:
- all 3 blacks in ceiling box connected together -- no other wires in this bundle
- white wire (which is hot when switched) coming from switch connects to the black/blackwhite fan wires
- connect all reamining white wires together in bundle
- connect all ground wires together
It's that simple. Trick is figuring out, of the three cables in the ceiling box, which is source, which is downline, which is switch.
Maybe red54's procedure can help you figure that out.
