Troubleshooting
Switch not responding
Ensure the circuit breaker is on and the wiring is correctly connected. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician.
Flickering lights
Check all wiring connections to the switch and the light fixture. Ensure the load does not exceed the 10A rating per gang. A loose connection or overloaded circuit may be the cause.

While designed for smooth operation, a very stiff switch might indicate an internal issue or improper mounting. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified electrician.
