I needed another outlet so I bought a outlet that had a toggle switch to control a garbage disposer and a outlet under it. I left the tab intact so I would have voltage to both the light switch and the outlet. This is one that has a little red light that tells you when the light is on. Now you can plug something into the receptacle and it works fine UNTIL you flip the toggle switch to turn on the garbage disposal (then the light that is plugged into the receptacle goes out.
What did I do wrong? I thought I followed the instructions but evidently I did not.
Another thing that may help you figure out what I did wrong: The little red light that is suppose to come on when the switch is on DOES NOT come on. I thought oh well I can live with that until I found the other problem with the lamp that I also had plugged in goes out when the switch is flipped and the disposal comes on.
Thanks
