This is my first post here, I have a basic understanding of electrics.
I have a 3 gang dimmer light switch in my living room, i just moved into the flat 6 months ago. The top button/dimmer no longer activates one set of lights. There is a separate toggle switch which also turns on/off the same set of lights but it also no longer activates the lights. The fuse switch was not "turned off" hence it doesnt appear to be an issue with the fuse. The same fuse switch appears to control all lights in the same room, some of which are now working some are not.
The bottom button/dimmer on the same 3 gang dimmer is still working and turns on/off another set of lights in the same room. The middle button/dimmer has never turned anything on/off hence I think it is not wired up.
Do i need to buy a new 3 gang dimmer and get an electrician in to replace it, or could the wiring from the top dimmer be moved to the middle (unused) dimmer?
Any help would be appreciated.
