Not very helpful to thee!

So those three terminals are essentially the 'operating strap' terminals of the switch.

I assume terminal 2 switches between terminals 1 and 3. 5 between 4 and 6, and 8 between 7 and 9.

I will attempt to get the GE wire colors matched to the switch terminals(assuming the above is correct). Just need an opportunity to look up the GE wiring diagram.

The 3 pole switch will only allow for switching one power lead for on/off.

Later!

Later has arrived.

I am assuming the carling switch terminals are 1,2,3 in a row, 4,5,6 in a second row and 7,8,9 in the last row.

That being correct, then

Power cord black to switch terminal 2
Power cord white to motor white

Motor blue to switch terminals 1 and 3

Motor red to switch terminal 5
Motor black to switch terminal 8

Motor orange to switch terminals 6 and 7
Motor violet to switch terminals 4 and 9

Hope this helps.

Thanks for spending time on this. I'll let you know the outcome.

I still think this Taiss universal switch may be a good option? I didn't end up trying it as I was able to repair my original switch. There is a 12 terminal option which I think would work.
