- Switch Not Controlling Light/Outlet:
- Confirm the wiring configuration matches your desired function (Common Feed, Separate Feed, or Switched Outlet).
- If using Separate Feed or Switched Outlet, ensure the break-off tab between the brass screws has been removed.
- Verify the load wire for the light or switched outlet is correctly connected to the switch terminal.
- Outlet Not Providing Power (when switch is ON for switched outlet):
- Check if the device plugged into the outlet is functioning correctly.
