Bedroom Radiators BOILING HOT constantly

[sunny123]

Hi, can anyone help me?

I cannot seem to get the radiators in the bedrooms to turn off...!

The DANFOSS valve is set to *(Frost or 0) and they are still boiling hot. I have tried turning the knob the complete other way to see if the stat isn't on properly but it still remains HOT!

In addition the thermostat downstairs is set to 0 (Off)... the other radiators in the house are all cold.... and the timer in the kitchen is set to OFF.

The landlord says the boiler (situated in the garage) has a frost protector on which is why it 'fires up' when it detects cold but surely this shouldn't affect the radiators...

Could there be a problem with the 2 bedroom radiators themselves?

Not much look getting a professional out as its -0 temperature wise here and everyone's boilers are breaking down etc so any help on how to rectify would be much appreciated as we are burning up here and not to mention wasting loads of gas and money
