- hot face plate on dimmer switch
Dear Dee Dee:
A little heat is not uncommon.
Have you recently relamped the fixtures that are controlled by this dimmer? You may have put in lamps that exceed the wattage rating of the dimmer? Most dimmers are only rated for 600 watts.
Check and see what the combined wattage and then replace with lower wattage lamps if needed.
