Hi,
One of my downstairs radiators won't heat up. Please could someone help me diagnose the problem? Here are some facts:
1. The whole system is 10 years old.
2. The radiator in question does *not* have a TRV.
3. I have a Gloworm Ultimate boiler.
4. There is a hot water tank upstairs.
5. When I open the bleed valve on the radiator water comes out. No air comes out.
6. If I close either valve at the end of the radiator and drain some water through the bleed valve then eventually the pipes warm up.
7. I have tried turning off all the other radiators and turning the pump to maximum, but to no avail.
8. Last winter the radiator heated up without any problems.
I would be grateful for any ideas - run out of things to try
Thanks,
Graham
