If the dimmer switch turns the fixture on and off, but does not dim, the
dimmer is defective. Possibly you shorted it out in the process of removing
or installing the fixtures

I recently replaced a chadelier in my dining room. The previous
chandelier worked fine and was on a dimmer. Although the new one works,
it will not dim. The wiring is straight forward - two wires from the
ceiling, two wires from the chandelier - no problem.

Does anyone know why a chandelier would not work with a dimmer switch?
