Common Electrical Problems With Switches
A wall switch gets rather warm. Dimming switches do this -- it is normal for them when running 600 watts worth of bulbs (or less). Heat at a receptacle is another matter; a connection there needs immediate improvement.
Two switches are supposed to control a set of lights but don't always work right. Occasionally a switch goes bad. More often this problem ...comes from someone having replayced a switch wrongly.
A switch does not seem to control anything at all. If you are not the first owner of this home or if you replaced receptacles recently, switched receptacles may have been disabled by how they were replaced. This applies mainly to bedrooms and living rooms.
