Radiator not filling up after it was removed and re-installed for plastering wall.
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.47 PM
The radiator in the living room,ground floor, which is a single panel radiator measuring about 7 feet x 1.5 feet was removed for plastering and re-installed by the plasterer. Now only the bottom of the radiator about 7 inches from bottom is getting hot but the top half of it remains cold all the time. I have open vent system of central heating. The other SIX radiators in the house are working fine with full top to bottom filling up with water. WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR: 1. I tried to bleed it> No air came out and the radiator did not fill up. 2. I topped up the small tank in the loft. No result. 3. I tried closing one knob keeping the other open> no good. 4. I alternated number 3> no help. 5. I shut down the other 6 radiators and tried to fill this single large radiator> no good. Opening one knob does make sound as if water is moving in, but the level does not rise above 7 inches. Ques: What should I do now? I is unlikely that the entry and exit valves are blocked with plaster as some amount of water is definitely coming in otherwise it would not have heated up at all. Please advise. Thanks.
