How Do You Replace A Push Button Light Switch?

0

A push-button light switch controls the operation of a light fixture the way a traditional single-pole switch done, except instead of toggling the switch up and down, the user simply pushes a button to turn the light on or off. Replacing a push-button switch is equally identical to replacing a toggle switch. It’s a simple job that takes about ten minutes. Turn off the circuit breaker that powers the light circuit before you start replacing the push-button switch. Unscrew and remove the switch’s cover plate. Remove the screws that secure the switch to the wall box and carefully pull the switch out by pulling on the top and bottom tabs. Do not touch the sides of the switch until you test for voltage. Use the voltage tester to ensure that you’ve turned off the correct breaker. Remove the ground wire from the switch’s ground screw (if it has one). Then remove the two wires attached to the side of the switch. Keep them separated and keep the top wire pointing upward and the bottom wire down
