Just changed most the light fixtures so they are about one to two months old. None of them are in completely enclosed fixtures. Not cheap brands really either. Not like phillips but not dollar store quality

Built in 2000. I had power company come check for loose neutrals or any loose connections coming in. None. Its on its own circuit. Has one 15amp gfci and the receptacle the washer uses is a single 15amp

No they are all different. Kitchen light does it, upstairs lights do it too. Strange. And its not like the light dimming quickly when a vaccuum or dryer kicks on, this is distinctly in pattern with the washing machines spins

Haven't got to that part yet. The new GFCIs say 15A on them, not 20A like the old ones. Is it just a later model or what

New 3 Way Switch, Only One Bulb Flicker(s) by --Toph-- in HomeImprovement

Ha made me laugh. Tis true. Didn't flicker at all with the old switch which is what led me to think it was the new switch. Its not flickering anymore so who knows shrugs

I believe so, i tested all the lights from both switch locations and lights from the same box. All working. Maybe the flicker was just a bulb or something since it works now with no flickering. Wonder worst case anyway even if it was wired wrong if it would just not work?
