Hello,
Question for the experts since I haven’t had this problem before. Working on my sons house installing a 3 way dimmer. Attached is a photo of the switch that was removed. Installed a Lutron 3 way dimmer and both switches don’t function like the should. Connected as per, black to black, white to red with white stripe, and red to red. Tried swapping the red and white and only changes switch position of course.
Thank you
