Hi There,
I was hoping one of you kind folks could enlighten me. I have a combi boiler system which is only 5 years old )Worcester Bosch 24i Junior) which works fine. I recently replaced a radiator in my kitchen as the radiators are getting on a bit (around 20 years). The problem I have is that the radiator will not heat up.
I have tried removing the radiator and flushing it through to check for a blockage, but its all clear. If I don't have the radiator connected (leaving the valves attached to the microbore) I can open them up and get hot water at pressure through the pipework. The return also appears unblocked as water under pressure can also escape from here when I open its valve. The radiator has been bled of air.
I have also tried closing the other radiators down, but again it makes no difference.
I have replaced a few radiators over the years but never come across this before.
Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Just to let you know they are just standard valves on all radiators and no electronic wizardry.
Thanks in advance.
