Radiator not heating but in pipe ROASTING!

[BuddyHolly9]

Hi Folks,

I have the problem of feed pipe being nice and warm (roasting actually) but the radiator being cold, I've bled as much as I can and it's just water coming out of it now. Any ideas on how I should go about fixing please?

Thanks in advance.

It seems like the valve to the left is closed? It needs opening with a spanner/wrench, turn it all the way anticlockwise

Both valves need to be open ,is the other valve a TRV ? The pin under the actuator head may be stuck downward ( closed ).

Thanks, there is heat after the valve on the left, it's just not in the radiator... I was wondering if it was that white bit I've labelled tepid?

Thanks, the other side is a TRV, I did wonder if that was knackered. Tried it off on a few times to no joy.

Check the lockshield valve - you may need to open it. The TRV valve may be stuck. Repeatedly tap it with a mallet until it springs back up.

Post a picture of the trv with the head off.
