- UESTION: Over the past few weeks, I've been having a problem with 2
light switch in the kitchen, sometimes it works - sometimes it doesu't,
untess you wiggle it. Could you advise me how to replace the switch?

REPLACING SWITCHES:

I€ a fuse blows or a circuit breaker trips every

time you turn on a switch, the switch itself is
probably to blame and should be replaced. There are
many different types of switches, but replacement
procedures for most of them are similar. You may wish
to substitute a different type for the faulty one; for
example, replacing an ordinary switch with a mercury

(silent) type.

Make sure the electricity is turned off before

§ beginning to work. Either remove the fuse or trip the

breaker serving that circuit. Remove the two screws

holding the cover plate and lift off the plate. Remove

the mounting screws holding the switch to the wall
box, and pull out the switch. —

Carefully note the wiring of the switch. it will
depend on where the switch is located with regard to
the rest of the circuit. Wiring for three-way switches
(where a fixture can be controlled from two separate
locations) is somewhat more complex, so make sure

that the new switch is wired in the same way as the

faulty one. Lf space permits, transfer one wirc at a time
from the old to the new so that you get them rigit.

Loosen the terminal screws and remove the

wires from the faulty switch. Place the loops around

} the screws on the new fixture in such a way that they

will be tightened when the screws are tightened. With

needle-nose pliers, squeeze the loops closed around the

screws. Tighten the screws firmly. Place the switch in §
the wall box, and install the mounting screws. Replace g
the cover plate. Restore power to the circuit by
replacing the fuse or turning on the circuit breaker.
Now check the operation of the switch.

Backwired switches are also available, and may
be used as replacements for most ordinary switches.
Installation in essentially the same as that described for

backwired outlets.

Dimmer switches allow you te set the lighting
mood of a room, from a soft, dramatic glow to a
dazzling brightness, and all ranges in between, simply
by turning a knob. they also conserve electricity when §
set at 2 position other than full on. Installation is
similar to other switches, except that the control knob
is pressed on after the switch is nounted and the cover

plate re-installed.
