I can't quite picture a heater switch with a built-in resistor for low-speed operation. I haven't seen one like that. Usually the resistor is separate. But yes, if that's what you have, and if the fan does indeed run at slow speed in the position where the coil gets hot, then it's working normally. If the coil is getting hot but the fan is either not running or is running at full speed, then you have something else wrong, like maybe you wired it up so you're grounding one end of the resistor when you switch it to "slow".
