Gfci combo switch

SOURCE: Richmond 500 grid dimmer switch keeps failing

In addition to an individual rating per dimmer, these dimmers have a total recommended rating based on the size of grid used. Assuming you've got three in a double box - the total combined load is 1000W of tungsten or 700W of LV fittings. It looks to me like your trying to dim too much in a limited space and generating too much heat.

SOURCE: what is the color code for a GE dimmer, 600W

Standard household electrical devices have the following color convention:

copper screw = hot = black wire
silver = neutral = white wire
green = ground = green or bare copper wire

SOURCE: 3 way dimmer in a single switch ap

Sometimes it can sometimes it can't. They make dimmers designed for both. If it is not designed for both it can only be used in a 3 way application.

I don't think you can do what you are trying. The fan & light are on one circuit. Probably, originally, there was only a light fixture there. The fan/light is on a single circuit and the remote does the controlling of both units.
Now, you are trying to install a fan control and light dimmer but you don't have wiring for each separately.
You might be able to use one of the dimmer controls to adjust the output to the fan/light combination, but you can't control them individually, if I understand your wiring.

Lutron shows widest selection of dimmers.
The wattages you posted are standard for multiple dimmers.

Once you identify type of dimmer, add a comment and say if dimmer is single-pole or 3-way.
A 3-way dimmer would be in a hallway, where more than 1 device controls same lights.
Single pole is where one device controls lights.

If I know what dimmer you have, I can search for the product and add another comment.

Or search for yourself:
For example, let's say you have 3-way Skylark dimmer.
Do a google search for 3-way skylark dimmer:

Or 3-way rotary dimmer, etc.
