Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up evenly
Bleed the radiator using the air vent plug to release trapped air. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly and water is circulating.
Leaking from connections
Turn off the central heating system and isolate the radiator. Check that all fittings and valves are tightened correctly. If the leak persists, professional attention may be required.
Radiator making noise
Gurgling or banging sounds can indicate trapped air; try bleeding the radiator. Clanking might suggest expansion and contraction, which is normal, but persistent loud noises could indicate system issues.
Chrome finish dull or streaky
