Hi All hoping you can help. I have a single radiator in my house that does not heat up and has me stumped.
I previously closed off all other rads in the house to push the water to the non working radiator. Once in a while this heats up the pipe running to the radiator, but it's as if the water/heat stops at the nut and the radiator remains dead cold, other times the pipe running to the radiator doesnt get hot either. What gives.
I checked the pin on under the trv on the valve to make sure it springs back up which it does. I have tried bleeding the radiator this doesnt resolve it. I have replaced the trv this didn't work. I have replaced the whole radiator, weird thing is when I put the new radiator on it started heating up for the first minute, then it went dead cold again and showed the same symptoms as above.
I have flushed the radiator myself with a hose.
I have had a plumber out for a professional powerflush and this didn't work and he too was stumped. I opted for the powerflush as i thought this means a big blockage, but then it doesn't make sense why sometimes the pipe running to the radiator warms up until it reached the radiator nut and other times it doesnt.
Help!!!
Any ideas.
Thanks all
