Two of them are in parallel with the switch in the MW position so set it to LW.
I think its the other way around, the inductance is increased by switching the two coils in parallel on long wave, with the larger coil used just by itself for medium wave.
Anyway, the problem is probably either with the switch contacts or a break/poor joint on the coil wires themselves. Continuity/resistances checks should show up which is the cause.
