Cold Radiator But Pipes Are Hot? Fix It FAST

In today’s video I’ve been caught up to a customer’s house because their radiator isn’t working. All the other radiators are hot and the heating is on and the pipework gets hot but it doesn’t flow through the radiator.

So in this video, I’m gonna show you a simple tip how to get the radiator working and I’ll be proving it to you using a thermal imaging camera .

Nine times out of 10 the problem is the thermostat and as you can see on the camera, the pipework is hot up to the valves but it’s not flowing through. The first thing to check is the pin underneath the thermostat so you want to remove the head either by hand or you might have to use a flat bladed screw screwdriver. With the pin exposed, you are looking to get movement up and down on the pin.

If it’s fully stuck down, my go to method is to use a hammer and slightly tap on top of the pin get in a little bit harder until the pimp pops up. Some people like to use a pair of grips and pull on the pin, but you run the risk of pulling that pin completely out with a Jetter water following it. I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve never ever seen a problem with by tapping the pin on the top, but that doesn’t go to show you that it can never happen so always be prepared when doing this yourself to drain the system down and change the radiator valve.

This tip is very good in the winter as it will get the radiators working again, but in the summer it’s probably always best to swap out the radiator valve as the next time you turn this one off it will just get stuck again .
