radiators

[hereiamnow]

hi everyone,

ok so i've got two radiadors in my house that have stopped working, not getting hot. they worked previously until about 2 weeks ago. i've have checked the switches and they're on, i've tried bleeding them, by this i mean turned the tap on the side until they started to run water, no air came out (if this is the wrong way to bleed them please let me know!) this has no effect. all of the other raidators in the house get warm, some before and some after in the chain from the boiler so i can't explain it!! they are both downstairs, and all the others downstairs work, any help would be much appreciated!!
Cheers

are the valves on each end of the rad open ?
do they have thermostatic rad valves on these rads ?

 

[hereiamnow]

there is a on/off switch with different settings on ie. 1,2,3 for different temperatures, this is on and set to number 3 the highest. on the other end there is a tap which is set to on, and on this tap there is the ability to bleed the radiators.

is the pipe hot up to the rad valves ?

pipes up to the rad are not hot, of course all of the ones that are working are hot. any suggestions? did i bleed them right? cheers

the bleed valve is at the top of the rad at one of the ends.

remove the trv they unscrew half way down just under the numbers by a knurled nut.
once removed their is a brass pin in the middle of the valve put something on top of the pin like a knife or pliers and push the pin down and check its moving freely. it should push down and back up again when released.

let us know.
