I have one downstairs radiator that will not get hot.
I have bled the radiator and hot water comes out, I assume from the hot water input, the end opposite the thermostat. I did not get any air out.
I have bled the top of the radiator above the thermostat and got cold water, at no time did I get any any air or any hot water.
All the other radiators work fine, including the other 5 downstairs.
Earlier this year we had another radiator fitted onto the system, it works fine. I have no idea if this is the last radiator in the system or where the new radiator fits in the system in terms of flow. I have thought does the new radiator bypass the cold one, so shut off the new radiator, no joy. I have shut all the other radiators off in case it was a balancing issue, no joy.
Q one posting has mentioned the system balancing valve being incorrectly set, I assume this is near the hot water tank? How do I identify it, I have assumed it is the one furthest from the pump, above the tank (the others seem to be isolating valves) any thoughts?
I am lost for ideas on what it might be, does anyone have any suggestions please?
