Hi guys, have a problem.
Im my bathroom, we have a dimmer switch and a fan switch in the same box. Anyway, I turned the light on today, and the lights flickered and smoke appeared from the fan switch. I could smell that something burned.
I turned off the power and opened the box. On the fan switch, there are 2 screws on the side. The top screw looks OK, but the bottom one is black. It looks like it burned because I see some melted insulation that was on the wire. There are 2 black wire on the bottom screw and one white wire on the top screw.
I turned the power back on and everything seems normal. The lights work and the fan works.
Anyone know what happened? Is the fan switch busted or is there something more?
Thanks guys.
