Problem for Lutron #D-600PH-DK 600W SP Push Rotating Dimmer

Newly installed Leviton dimmer switch humming at the switch




By conjeannieal on Mar 17, 2009

I just installed a Leviton touch dimmer for my dining room chandelier. Now whenever I turn the light on there is an annoying humming sound coming from the switch area. How can I get rid of the hum?

- Thank you to those who posted solutions. Fortunately, through a little internet research I found that simply changing out the builder's grade light bulbs for a better quality bulb solved the problem.

You'll need to install an electronic dimmer, like a Maestro. Otherwise, you'll have to live with the hum.

Unfortunately, the hum is normal for operation of that type of dimmer at low levels.  Sometimes the lamp filaments will also "sing" a high pitched sound.
