I have this single pole 3 way dimmer switch where I attached all 4 wires in the correct spot for my living room lantern, or so I thought. My lantern successfully worked, however, all the light switches in my kitchen either stopped working or worked not as expected.
For example, the light switch in my kitchen that's on the same wall as my living room light would only turn my kitchen light on and off if my dimmer switch was on.
What am I doing wrong? Am I using the wrong dimmer switch? More photos in the comments.
Thank you. Lowe's and Home Depot said the same thing to call an electrician so I did. Have one coming on Tuesday. It's $70 just to get a quote which sucks, but if I do go with them, it goes towards the final price. It just sucks because I'm just now noticing how weird these lights are and I just finished putting a wainscotting on the wall and painting it. I even have a light switch that doesn't do anything apparently... I'm really not wanting to pay $200+ for all of this and I imagine it would cost A LOT more.
