Home Improvement Asked on December 12, 2020

My existing Light switch died and I’m looking to replace with a different brand. My wall has separate line and separate load wires. And the switch I purchased has a single wire labeled load/line How do I connect?
Here’s a link to the new switch

One Answer

The switch you purchased is a three way switch. Three way circuits have a line at one switch and a load at the other switch which is why you have a line/load wire. You need a switch with a separate line and load terminal/wire. Check your instructions or post them to your question. You use one of the travelers for the load connection.
