<h3><br><br><b>TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS</b></h3>

<ol><li><span style='font-size: 13px;'><span style='line-height: 1.6;'><span style='color: #444444;'><span style='font-family: &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'><span style='font-style: normal;'><span style='font-variant-ligatures: normal;'><span style='font-weight: 400;'><span style='white-space: normal;'><span style='background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);'><span style='text-decoration-thickness: initial;'><span style='text-decoration-style: initial;'><span style='text-decoration-color: initial;'><span style='font-size: 13.33px;'><span style='color: #262626;'><span style='font-family: verdana;'><u><b>​Re-set the dimmer:</b></u>  This can be completed by pulling the Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS) tab for approximately 10 seconds and then and pushing it back in. The FASS tab is located underneath the &quot;Off button on the wall dimmer or switch and can be pulled out with the use of your fingernail.  The FASS will only extend about an eighth of an inch.  Occasionally after a power outage, the smart dimmer/switch may not reset properly. The FASS tab cycles power to the unit and re-sets the connection between the dimmer and the load (lights) in order to work properly. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li></ol>

In circuits where multiple bulbs or fixtures are wired to the dimmer the dimmer would still continue to work as long as there was at least 1 light in good working condition that meets the minimum load requirement.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li></ol>
