Amaranthus Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have one radiator that's just literally stopped working overnight. Stone cold pipes and everything. All the others are working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 I thought that was just for when it was warm at the bottom and cold at the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modforlife Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 ther will be an air lock try bleeding it,and make sure nobodys turned it off Plus if its a combination boiler it might need the water topping up in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I thought that was just for when it was warm at the bottom and cold at the top? No, that's air in the radiator itself, usually. Again, a problem can generally be cured by bleeding the pipes. (The whole radiator being cold is usually down to an airlock in the piping itself, and a radiator that's cold at the bottom, and hot at the top, is usually down to a silted up radiator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
