This is the photo after installing the new ones. :) I am glad that it look very new and works perfectly. Thanks, my husband!
What He Bought for This Project
In order to replace them, he bought these four items. In addition to these, you will also need a screw driver.
1. White Wall Plate Cover
Pass & Seymour TP262W Trade Master Wall Plate 2 Gang 2 Decorator, White |
2. White Dimmer Switch
Eaton SAL06P-W-K Skye AL Series 3-Way Single-Pole Sliding Dimmer Switch with Rapid Start Feature, White Finish |
3. White Light Switch
Pass & Seymour TM870WCC10 Decorator Switch, Single Pole |
4. Electrical Tester
Southwire Woods Multimeter Analog |
I don't really know how he replaced the switches, but I will share how he did it as far as I know. (without wiring step)
First, turn off the power to your switch at the breaker. Then, remove the mounting screws.
Remove the old wall plate cover and old switches.
Then, connect new switches. You need to understand electrical wiring for this step.
Finally, install a new wall plate cover.
I really like new switches. :)
He will replace old GFCI outlets in our bathrooms next time. :)
