Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up fully
Check that radiator valves are open. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly and other radiators are heating up.
Leaking from valves or connections
Tighten the connections gently. If leaking persists, the valve or fitting may need replacement or re-sealing by a professional.
Noisy radiator (e.g., banging, rattling)
This could be air in the system; bleed the radiator. Check that the radiator is securely mounted and not vibrating against walls or pipes.
Uneven heating (cold spots)
Bleed the radiator to remove air. If the cold spots persist at the bottom, it may indicate sludge in the system, requiring a system flush.
