What is the question?
Daughter has one radiator that shows red light indicating demand active, integral pump running but no heat.
Any help to get it working will be much appreciated
Is that programmer just controlling the radiator you are having a problem with and do you have progammers for each or one for all of the radiators. It's just that the one in the pic says it has reached the temp it is set for so it will not heat up any more than that.

It's the same object photographed from two different sides.
I'm not so sure...?

Actual temp and target temp are the same. Also, the panel on the rad, if it’s RF, have you tried fresh good quality batteries?

We use water filled towel rails a lot, but in the main stand-alone radiators are normally oil filled. Google shows they are rather expensive, but have not seen any details of how wired.
@Stuckinarut makes a good point, want target to be above current for the radiator to come on, but to fault find needs some sort of test. In the main, we select electric heaters depending on how long used, a fan heater will be switching on/off a lot, but tend to give near instant heat, so the thermostat has a short life, but great for a room not used much. The water or oil filled radiator takes longer to heat up, but tend to last longer. The storage radiators even longer to heat up and cool down again.
Oil filled cost £35 to £100 and so to pay £200 for a radiator is £100 for how it looks in the main.

The big giveaway
My total experience with these has been replacing a failed SFCU. However according to the pic of the control unit the target temp has been reached and should not continue heating, as has already been stated.
