These are typically available at most general hardware stores or the big box Lowe's and Home Depot stores. They are inexpensive and typically come in packs of 2 to 3 slider knobs per package.

If you don't have a local hardware or big box store near you, check your local phone directory for an electrical supply distributor, as they usually will carry them, if they are a Lutron dealer. Just call them and ask, if they don't have them, they can order them for you and you can purchase them over the counter, even if you don't have an account with them.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Yes, it sounds like your input power wire got mixed up with one of the output wires.

This is simply a "switch" or think maybe a gate. It is either open or closed. Power can flow through or not.

It does not matter where the 2 (probably black) wires go, just that the ground is on the ground lug.

Yeah, it matters.

The first thing is that the fan-speed in that control is only rated for 1.5-Amps. The issue with bathroom fans (I have to assume an exhaust fan) is not only how much current they pull during normal operation, but what happens if the fan rotor locks - that can pull some pretty hefty current slugs that the device is NOT rated for.

Also, generally speaking, putting fan-control on an exhaust fan doesn't work that well. If you slow down the speed at all, it significantly minimizes the amount of air-flow going through the room - which means you're using all of that energy for basically nothing.

My recommendation is to instead get Lutron's MA-L3T251- device. Here, you have the dimmer for the lights (same as the control you bought), and you have a timer switch that's rated for general purpose fan loads (up to 2.5A).

Sorry, its not something you can do from the wall-control. Unless the fan had a an embedded/built-in control module, the fan manufacturer's rarely make the "reverse" setting available from the wall control.
