Troubleshooting

Switch not operating fan

Verify power is restored to the circuit. Check all wire connections to the switch terminals are secure and correctly placed. Ensure the fan itself is functioning and correctly wired.

Loose faceplate

Gently press the faceplate back onto the switch module until it securely clicks into place. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection.

Switch feels stiff

Ensure the back box is not obstructing the switch mechanism. Check wiring is not trapped behind the switch module. If the issue persists, the unit may be faulty.
