Radiator has no heat

[RobM]

Hi,

An idiot at plumbing here.

I have a radiator with no hot water coming into it.

Running off a combi boiler

It has been bled and there is water in the rad.

There is no heat in either feed pipe

Is there anything else I could be checking ?

Many thanks

Open the radiator valves.

Turn the heating on.

The heating is on and all other rads work fine

Turn all the other rads off and keep this one open - and see what you get.

Sounds like you have a sticking Thermostat on that one radiator ! I take you have stats on each rad ? if so remove the thermostat (Head only) easey to remove on the valve you will see a small pin in the center jive this a few sharp taps with a spanner on small hammer (Not to hard) you will see the pin pop out slighty, a couple of squirts with WD move it in and out a few times should then be ok.

i find the handle of my shifter on the side of the valve works best sharp taps
