Switch won't turn of Outlet
I recently replaced a switch(interupter) and a duplex
outlet(receptacle) in my home. The switch had the ability to turn on/off power to the top outlet on the duplex receptacle. After replacing the switch and the receptacle I get no response from the switch. Both the top and bottom outlets on the receptacle have power, but I can no longer turn off the power to the top outlet of the duplex receptacle. I'm using Levition Decora products and have confirmed by looking at the old switch and recpetacle that I have bought the proper replacements. I've included a link to a diagram I drew of my current wire setup, can anyone give me some insight into why the switch doesn't work? Here is the link: http://www.strangemedia.net/receptacle.gif P.S - Before replacing anything I wrote down the placement of all the wires and I don't believe the wires are connected incorrectly. |
