Title: HELP WITH WALL SWITCH
Post by: woot903 on August 31, 2009, 07:19:11 PM

I am having a small problem that is causing a bigger one. I have decorator dimmers switch, but I can not get it to turn on. It responds to the off signal but will not respond to the on signal. Any Ideas on what might be happening???

Not with such little detail in your problem description.

However, I threw a dart at the answer board and it landed on "Re-define the wall switch as a LM14A".

If that doesn't work, try searching the forum for the following: "wall switch will not turn on", "noise", "phase coupling", "signal suckers".
