Danfoss Hassles,

can anyone advise on what to do with a danfoss thermostatic radiator valve that is stuck ? i have removed the temp setting knob, and the push pin which is not stuck. so i asume it is the actual valve sticking, can oyu give it a gentlre whallop to release it ? or do i have to drain the system and replace ? nay ideas would be greatefull.
regards, PAul.......

use a couple of these assuming not sealed system...ahem before the shells start coming in.........

and change the valve, or take old valve off and release rubber washer thing.

or give it the treatment the choice is yours. burp.
