A Shorted Chandelier
 |
 |
 |
| The telephone rang and a woman's voice said we were changing the light bulbs in the chandelier in the dining roo and now the dimmer doesn't work anymore. I took apart the face of the chandelier in separated wires to find out which arm was shorted here's a picture of the situation. |
I removed the wires from two of the lampholders that looked like they were slightly falling apart internally. When I tested the circuit' everything was okay and no longer was there a short so I went ahead and put the light bulbs back as you'll see in the next picture. |
Here is the final picture for today. All the lights are working except for two. I will get new lamp holders return next week to finish the job. |
