Suddenly cold radiator

[Fliss]

Hi All

I've read the postings around the topic of cold radiators and just wanted to check.

Only the front panel of a double radiator was heating up, so yesterday I bled the back panel and it all heated up. Half an hour later I went back to revel in the glorious heat to find that the radiator was stone cold. (Heating was still on and other rads were hot.) Same again this morning when the heating came on.

Does this sound like an airlock in the pipework? I did turn the two valves at either end slightly after it had gone cold yesterday (both are now mid-open) - could I have messed something up?

Thanks

Fliss

I dont want to state the obvious, but have you tried bleding the rad again??

Try shutting off some of the other rads for an hour and see if you can force more flow through the cold 1.
