Bedroom rad

[rainking1]

Our bedroom radiator is cold. I've bled it but I only get water coming out. What can I do to fix this?

Could be valve or TRV stuck shut - take head off and tap/wiggle pin, or an air lock - close the other rads to force it out.

if i was to close off the other rads and bleed it, are we talking about potentially bleeding the entire water content of the rad to get any air out?

 

[ChrisR]

No no no! The increased flow through that rad will hopefully get any airlock moving so it unblocks the pipe and ends up in a rad.

hi, tried closing off the other rads, but this had no effect on the cold one. any other ideas?

take the head off the trv and gently tap the body and pull the pin up carefully

sorry, but i didn't understand that when the last guy suggested it...my apologies...i'm a pen pusher.

what is the trv?
