    Using Dimmer DVCL-153P to Control a Fan

    Is the Lutron DVCL-153P a compatible dimmer switch for a Panasonic FB-0511vQ1?

    The Panasonic is a bathroom fan with no light.

    The specs I found show that fan has a switch to adjust speed/flow. It's probably not going to want to be dimmed.

    In general, most motors do not want to be dimmed (speed control). If they do (like ceiling fans) they need a special control to work properly. Dimmers may work for a period of time, but it won't end well.
