Maintenance

The Westek 6009B dimmer requires minimal maintenance:

• Cleaning: Disconnect power to the lamp before cleaning. Wipe the dimmer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Bulb Replacement: Always unplug the lamp before replacing the light bulb. Ensure the replacement bulb is an incandescent type and does not exceed 100W.

Troubleshooting

• Light does not turn on:
  • Check if the lamp is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the dimmer knob is rotated fully clockwise past the 'click' to the ON position.
  • Verify the light bulb is securely screwed into the dimmer and is not burnt out.
  • Confirm the bulb is an incandescent type and within the 100W limit.
• Light does not dim properly:
  • This dimmer is designed for incandescent bulbs only. Using LED or CFL bulbs will result in improper dimming or no dimming at all.
  • Ensure the bulb wattage is within the specified range.
• Dimmer feels warm:
  • It is normal for dimmers to generate some heat during operation. If the dimmer becomes excessively hot or emits smoke/odor, immediately unplug the lamp and discontinue use.
