>Wash is OU
>Heat is UU
>Mow is RU
>Base is NU
>Frost is PU
>Fan is Untiered (ZU)

Why is there such a big difference between all of them when they share the same stats and abilities

Typing and moves. Water and Fire are much better secondary types for electic than grass or ice, and flying is redundant with levitate. Hydro pump is a strong move with little downsides compared to overheat and leaf storm. Blizzard is ok in a vacuum but comes with the downside of being on an ice type, and air slash is really weak compared to the other offerings and comes with a suboptimal typings.
The biggest thing that made Rotom-W popular was volt switch, because its water type covered the fire weakness of popular u-turn users like Scisor.

Different resistances and moves. My suggestion on balance:

>Rotom-Wash
-+10 Special Defense, -10 Attack
-new Hidden Ability: Storm Drain
-new move upon form change: Soak

>Rotom-Heat
- +10 Special Attack, -10 Attack
-new Hidden Ability: Flash Fire
-new move upon form change: Burn Up

>Rotom-Frost
- +10 Defense, -10 Attack
-new Hidden Ability: Refrigerate
-new move upon form change: Freeze Dry

>Rotom-Mow
- +10 Speed, -10 Attack
-new Hidden Ability: Herbivore
-new move upon form change: Cotton Guard

>Rotom-Fan
- +10 Speed, -10 Attack
-new Hidden Ability: Aerilate
-new move upon form change: Tailwind

Note: my suggestion is that the new moves are ADDED onto the older ones, so Rotom-Wash would get Hydro Pump AND Soak upon form change for example.

Why didn't they retcon this thing to give it Hurricane instead of Air Slash

Boltbeam is amazing coverage but Blizzard is only 70 accuracy while Hydro Pump is 80, Rotom isn't an offensive mon and anything with Ice is a bad defensive typing.

>All the other Rotom forms get High BP attacks and utilize their ability in levitate in some form
>Rotom-Fan gets fucking Air Slash and its levitate ability is only useful if it got Roost, and even then, its still outclassed by Zapdos as a defensive Electric/Flying type

Any special attacker who wants to use Flying attacks.
Air Slash is far too weak.
