Necessity of re-wiring
Hi all,
I’m swapping out a 3-way switch for a 3-way ELV dimmer. The existing 3-way switch works properly. After installing the new dimmer, any need to have to re-wire the non-dimmer switch (existing) The instructions with the dimmer seem to say so, but maybe that’s for new installations. Thx!

Hi, I don’t see any need to rewire the other existing switch, post the model # of the new switch.

Hi, according to the info, it appears that the yellow wire on the dimmer must be connected directly to the load, is that what you have ? if not the dimmer would have to be relocated to the other location, does the dimmer work as connected now?

Welcome to the forums.
According to the wiring instructions..... the power must go to the 3way switch first and then the dimmer.
