my radiator

[joemay87]

Hi im wondering if anyone can help. I have one cold rad in my bathroom. My brotherin law has bled it and to no success it is still cold. Any ideas? Is the best option for a professional to come and look? Any ideas would help me

What about removing the rad and giving it a flush through with a hose pipe = could be a blockage. While the rads off, put a container under each valve and let a little water out of each valve to make sure they are working. Are pipes warm up to the valves?

Are the valves turned on. common fault.

its cold as i feel it to the valves, its around 5 years old now may need a new one? this radiator may have to take it off squeaky as suggested

But are the valves open.
