Just one radiator stays cold. What to do if one radiator is not working. If you ve just turned the heating back on after the summer air can become trapped in your radiators causing them to be warm at the bottom but cold at the top. If the valves are open but the radiator is still cold it s possible that the valves are blocked.

When you find that a radiator isn t working these are the things you should do to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the problem. If only one radiator is not working scroll down further for possible solutions. A system powerflush conducted by a qualified engineer will usually do the trick. If some of your steam heat radiators are not getting hot the steam vent may not be working may not be venting at all radiator stays cold or may be venting too slowly radiator heats to proper temperature but too slowly 2 if a steam radiator valve is open but the radiator is still cold the steam vent may not be working.

If just one or a few of your radiators aren t heating up the most common reason for this is trapped air. If you see that a radiator isn t heating up before you get to work on it check to see if other radiators in your house aren t working. So all your central heating radiators are hot except one. If you find that one radiator within your home stays cold ensure that the valves located on the sides of the radiator are open.

The radiator doesn t heat up fully despite both valves being fully open and there also seems to be a temperature difference across the radiator with the bottom being hotter than the top. All heating system seems to be working ok except for one radiator on the 2nd floor boiler is in the basement. This is why we have produced a brief video telling you the possible causes and solutions. It can be really annoying to find that one radiator out of the whole house is not getting hot.
