aaaaarrrghhh!!!!

My central heatings started acting up. All radiators working well except the kitchen one which today decided to stay freezing cold despite me pleading with it to warm up (was frreeeeezzziiingggg here today).

The system is 2 years old. We just finished our period of cover with the builders 2 weeks ago, can you believe it.

Before we go spending a fortune to get someone round, can anyone suggest anything we might be able to do ourselves?????

BTW, we have checked it with the key but OH says there's no air in it, just water so it's not needing bled.

Thanks in advance.

sods law eh!!!!
Is the rad completely cold or warm at the top and cold at bottom??
Try shutting off all the other rads at both ends if the faulty one then works your heating system may need 'balancing'. Doesnt mean anything to me but this is what OH is suggesting!!!! C x

Thanks for that. OH is trying that right now. The rad is completely cold and so is the pipe leading into it. Looks like a blockage??

Still freezing this morning. Gonna have to make a call I think. At least it's the kitchen rad and nowhere else.

Thanks for the help last night.
