LUKEWARM RADIATOR

[imation]

Hello Everybody,

In my house i have several radiators and they all seem to be working fine except for the one in the TV lounge. This particular one is a lot cooler than the rest for some reason so i bled it but this did not do anything. It does have a TRV fitted but i have this on full all the time. I decided to remove the TRV head and pushed the pin down to see if it would spring back up which it so i am at a loss as to what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.

recently had the same problem in my sons 6 year old house. Removed TRV, with it fully open, could hardly blow through it. Changed it and solved problem. However before I drained the system to do this job, I turned off every other radiator in the house and fully opened both valves on the problem radiator to ensure the problem still persisted. If the problem disappeared, I would go through the lengthy process of balancing the radiators

Tried that today but didnt work. One thing that i have just noticed is that the pipes leading into the radiator are cold. I dont know if thats helps to determine what might be wrong.
