1. Lutron Electronics RK-DK Rotary Dimmer Replacement Knob, White/Ivory, 2-Pack
This is important, when replacing a round dimmer knob, you must look at the back to see which type of stem is compatible.
You can mix some knob brands but, Lutron dimmers have stems with ridges that align with ridges in Lutron brand replacement knobs.
The knob comes in a two-pack one white and one ivory. It would be nice to have both the same color but it`s not an option at this moment.

Remove them, and you should be able to pull the cover right off. If the dimmer switch uses a knob, it is possible that the knob will block the removal of the cover plate. In this case, a firm pull on the knob—straight out, away from the wall—should remove the knob and allow you to easily remove the cover plate.
