Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up
Ensure the central heating system is on and functioning. Check that radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Verify that the system is adequately pressurized.
Leaking from connections
Turn off the heating system and drain the radiator. Re-tighten the connections to the valves and ensure any seals or PTFE tape are correctly applied. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.
Uneven heating
Bleed the radiator as trapped air is often the cause. If bleeding does not resolve the issue, the system may require balancing by a professional.
Radiator feels cold at the top, hot at the bottom
This indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator by carefully opening the bleed valve until water starts to drip out, then close the valve.
