If'n your house does burn down, then it will be Specks fault!

Can you turn it on and off? Just the dimming part stopped working? If so, turn it off and you'll be good til you can replace it.Quote:

Oops, sorry canebreaker. We musta been typing at the same time.
No. It will not turn off or on, no matter where I turn the knob, or push it. It's a push on type switch.Quote:

Turn the breaker off. Pull the stat out of the junction box. It will have two wires connected to it. (If it is a single pole switch). Plus a ground wire (bare copper or green insulation). Disconnect the two wires and cap them with wire nuts and electric tape. Put the switch back in the junction box if you want to. Then turn the breaker back on. It will be fine.Quote:

Dimmer switch, best to keep a spare handy no matter the price.
Father-in-law got a box full of them years ago. All still in their little box as sold in stores. I carried one to the supply house I used at the time. Matched it up, I could get a carton of 120 for .69 each. They were selling at Central Hardware for $3.99.
Yeah, and it's HARD to get the smoke back in once you let it out!!!Quote:
