Fan Light
I replaced a ceiling fan/light with a pendant light. The dimmer switch doesn’t work now. Is it broken?

I replaced a ceiling fan/light, which was attached to a wall-mounted dimmer switch, with a pendant light. The dimmer has an on/off switch as well as a slide bar to control the brightness of the light. The dimmer did not control the fan before and only controlled the fan’s light. The circuit breaker was triggered during installation and had to be reset. I used one of the bulbs from the fan for the new pendant light. While the new light turns on/off with the switch, it does not dim. The light stays at its brightest regardless of where the slide bar is moved. Did the dimmer switch get damaged? Should I replace it? If not, why does the dimmer not work on my new pendant light when it worked 30 minutes before with the fan light and same bulb?

unfortunately the dimmer it’s gone the resistor that is inside got short out then is nothing you can do unless you know electronics’s . Usually the dimmer’s for fan/light they came with the set but if for some reason they get short out they only work on one mode and some people try another kind of dimmer but unfortunately the also serve on one mode buy your self a new dimmer .only that this time you know before installation turn the proper breaker off then install it because they are so sensitive
