Cold kitchen radiator

[budgierustler]

The rad in the kitchen is cold.....only one that is.

The pipe running to it is hot and if I bleed the Rad then warm water eventually runs out.

The valve is just open / close with a plastic cover on....not a TRV.

I have a back boiler behind the Gas fire.

HELP PLEASE

No...tried turning all the others off but still no luck

try turning both valves off and drain the rad. remove the rad and then with a bucket under one of the valves see what flow you get from the valve. repeat with the other. also see what colour water you get from the valves/ rad.
