Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up at all

Check that the central heating system is on and functioning. Ensure the radiator valves are fully open. If it's a vertical radiator, verify that the system is adequately filled and bled of air.

Radiator is only partially heating

The most common cause is trapped air. Use the bleed plug to release any trapped air until water emerges. Ensure valves are correctly fitted and not obstructed.

Leaking from valve or connection points

Ensure all connections are tight and correctly sealed. Check radiator valves for damage. If the leak persists, professional servicing may be required.

Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the radiator is fully dry after cleaning.
