wiring a ceiling fan with light with dimmer switch switch

I have left the red/white striped wire capped, as instructed. On the dimmer switch that I bought, there is a ground wire, a red wire, a black wire (and a red/white striped wire, which the instructions said to cap as it could be used for 3 way switch, which I don't think I need for this job.) On the switch, the black wires were attached to 2 brass screws, the ground wire attached to a blackish-green colored screw, and the red wire was inserted into a small whole in the back of the switch labeled a 'push wire'. In the switch box there were 2 black wires, 1 red wire, and the ground wire. This is what I continue to achieve after I have installed the dimmer switch for the light. Correct me if I've been told wrong!īefore I attempted to install the dimmer, there was one switch on the wall that controlled the light and the fan was operated by the pull cord attached to the fixture. I have read that installing a dimmer for the fan is dangerous, however I have been told that having the dimmer only control the light, not the fan and the light, is okay. I am attempting to install a dimmer switch to solely operate the light on my ceiling fan light fixture.
