Can't quite figure this one out myself. Bear with me as I'm not overly familiar with central heating & its associated jargon - I'm just running with the manuals & some internet info on maintenance.
System is running from a Baxi 105e Combi boiler (www.baxi.co.uk has manuals).
Prior to inspection for a new maintenance contract as the warranty has just run out, I thought I'd re-pressurise the system & bleed the rads.
Pressure has gone up ok and a few of the rads expelled some air, but one of them only seems to be half full no matter what I try. Its not full halfway up, but on only one side/panel (its a double panel radiator [don't know the technical jargon for this?]).
The back panel is fine, bled ok and now spits water out. The front panel does nothing, not even hiss air. There doesn't seem to be any kind of valves between the two panels to stop water getting into it, but I'm at a loss. Air lock perhaps?
Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
Will leaving it as is do any damage?
TIA
