Installed Leviton Decora Slide Dimmer switch 6672 and moving the slide turns on the lights but I have no dimming action ?? Using dimmable LED light bulbs I replaced a regular Leviton switch.

Specs say Dimmable LED lights are fine, so that means your lights are the ones at fault. Although marked dimmable, they are aren't. Swap the bulbs out for another make. Also if you read the FAQ on the lower section of the page, there are secret switches hidden behind the slider. Also interesting to me is that on the top metal fixing plate it shows
LIGHTED OPTION
ON - OFF

Locator Light not working on leviton 6633-pl

6633-pl is single-pole and 3-way dimmer made for max 600 watt incandescent or halogen load. This dimmer does not work for CFL or inductive loads such as motor.

I have no idea what a 'locator light' is?? Do you mean the LED indicator that shows when power is connected?

Troubleshoot section of manual does not show any solution for LED malfunction.

We have Leviton push button slide dimmers w/the locate lights for power outlets and lights throughout our house. A couple of months ago one stopped working...you push the button to turn it on and it...

Wiring is not best suspect.
If all the Leviton devices were installed same time, they may be failing at same time due to lifespan.
For example, ordinary on-off switch is a mechanical device with mechanical parts, and mechanical switches last many years longer than wiring devices that have electronic parts.
Electronic devices usually have standard 1 year limited warranty.

Just tripping the breaker should no affect your dimmer unless maybe malfunctioning or wired incorrectly or loose connection. It is hard to wire incorrectly, for there should only be two wires attached to the dimmer? Replace dimmer and make sure wiring is correct if not sure about wiring yourself contact local electrician for your safety. There are very good instructions inside the switch packages, make sure to buy a quality switch, Leviton is a good name I would lean towards faulty switch or loose connection but I'm not there. Good Luck Karen....

The Leviton IP106 Illumatech dimmer switch must be installed at the switch location where the hot feed exists. From your description your hot feed is at the regular 3-way switch location. Swap locations.

The Leviton page for Leviton 5613 does not have a troubleshoot.
Manual shows simple wiring diagram.
3-way switches will not operate lights if switches are wired incorrectly.
Check your ground wire is connected.
Leviton 5613 series is illuminated.
Check that both switches have 5613 number.
Swap switches and see if problem is inside switch.

Leviton slide dimmer switch w/locator light light comes on but doesnt dim

What sort of light is it , dimmer switches normally only work on Incandescent type lights not flourescent type.

Otherwise it sounds as if the dimmer function is faulty.

The light on the switch does not men it is wired correctly, it only means that you have supplied power at that point. Without knowing more its hard to say, but I'll assume this is a single switch operating a single unit. That being the case, and depending on your fixture, occassionally wires must be grouped together on the switch side. Also quite often these switches are simply defective, and must be returned. If you think you have it correct then its probably a bad switch.
