Trying to replace fan/light, but can't seem to get light to work off dimmer swtich only as before. Why not

Question

Our previous ceiling fan/light operated on two switches. Fan on toggle with fan speed adjusted by pull chain and light on a dimmer switch. Now in attempting to install an new ceiling fan/light we can't seem to get light to work on dimmer. Not sure what we are doing wrong.

Answer 1

the Fan has its own speed changer so you have to wire the light buy it self and then to dimmer

Answer 2

where the light attaches, there should be a blue and white wire that have to be connected to power them separately. Connect the blue wire to the incoming supply from dimmer switch.

Answer 3

make sure the light is dimmable (I think that's a real word), some bulbs cant be dimmed, some halogen for instance.
