Very common scenario these days for 2 speed fans !!

The resistor may be u/s.
If it's been u/s for a few months and the AC has been used,
The fan will have only been operating on HIGH speed cycling on and off every few seconds. (this puts excessive current through the high speed relay. They are rated at 40 amps and the 65 amp surge with sudden high speed demand welds the contacts together eventually)

AC should not be used if SLOW speed isn't working as the resistor acts as a "soft start" circuit for the HIGH speed.

If the resistor is OK and high speed relay in the control box is OK you are looking at a duff motor or corrosion in the factory wire joints between the fan plugs/ control box and motor itself or the 80amp fuse.
The fuse very rarely fails but when it does it will be for a reason.

Happy fault finding and if you need a new motor kit look no further
