Radiators RED HOT !!!!!

[twedspeed]

mY radiators are really hot even tho the thermostat is set down to 15 C, why ?????

 

[Corgigrouch]

what is the room temperature? Is it below 15c?

Do you mean hot to touch or hot when they should be off ? The temperature of the radiators is set by the boiler thermostat not the room thermostat it may just be set to high or possibly faulty,what system do you have and what is the make and model of the boiler,Paul

-potterton suprema !! what seems to be happening is I think that 3 way thing isnt working. I turned the thermostat right down , yet the boiler was still roaring away and the radiators were REALLY hot , Does that 3 way thing , supposed to direct the flow in another direction , once the set temp has been reached , mine just got hotter and hotter. If that 3 way was in some way defective , what would happen ?? (please note the room thermometer still clicks when turned)

was the cylinder still calling for heat?

When did the system last work properly?

How many of the pipes on the motorised valve are too hot to hold?
