2 Radiators not working

by Helpless » Thu Sep 27, 2007 4:24 pm

H, I wonder can anyone help.
2 radiators will not heat up. All others in the house are fine. Have checked if there is air locked and released the valve and water comes out no air. Some of the others had air locked but ok now after bleeding. Wondering if there is an air lock somewhere in the piping. If so, is it something I can release somewhere myself or do I need professionals. Does releasing the valve at the other end of the radiator i.e. opposite end from temperature knob have any effect?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Get someone in to look at it. You can't address this sort of thing remotely.

Good Luck.

Oh hang on. Is the valve at the "other end" shut?

If it is that's why it's cold.

Trying opening it as well as the flow.

Check both valves are open, and run central heating. Try turning off a few of the other radiators, and see if the pump will push the heat / airlock through.
