I would suspect the switch long before the resistor.. It the resistor opens, you loose all your lower speeds.

You can unplug the resistor completely and still have HIGH speed only. Try that and see how long it runs. If it still quits, you probably have a bad switch or the connector at the switch is corroded/damaged and is overheating.
