    One cold radiator

    Hi One of our radiators has stopped working. I've removed the TRV and checked the pin which looks fine - pushed it in and out a few times to make sure it isn't sticking. That hasn't helped. Pipes leading away from the radiator on both sides are cold. Any thoughts on what else I can try...
