How do you deal with a cold radiator in a closed system?

[richie1974]

Hello,

We recently removed the towel radiator in our bathroom. We only turned the water off and did not turn any valves on the actual radiator.

We have now re-installed the radiator after about a month, but only the bottom 9 bars and one side are heating up. I have bled all the other radiators in the house and had them all turned off bar this one to try and get rid of air locks in the system, but this has not worked.

Is there a way to get the heat back into the towel radiator without calling an expensive plumber please? we have a combi system.

many thanks!

what is your system lay out?

Hi. Thanks for your replies.

Re the system, we have a Worcester 28i combi boiler. Upstairs there are Thermostatic rads in both bedrooms, the towel rad is not thermostatic.

Downstairs there are 4 more rads, none of which are thermostatic.

Is that any use?

I do not know how I am supposed to repressurise the system?

Sorry for my lack of plumbing knowledge!
