Folks,
I'd appreciate your thoughts. Long story short:
Just moved into house with an Alpha CD32C boiler in attic and 9 rads. Eight of these work fine.
The ninth radiator stays cold, no matter what setting the TRV's on. The 'needle' in the TRV seems OK (up and down by some millimetres when pressed manually) so I tried bleeding the radiator. A *lot* of air came out. Even better news, without any 'glooping' sounds - as one might expect if sludge were being pushed about - the rad started warming up!
Unfortunately, the bleeding caused the water pressure to drop too low and the boiler shut down. I re-pressurised, started the boiler up again and ...eight rads work and the bedroom one doesn't.
I've now bled every rad in the house twice, but no change. Eight are fine, one isn't.
Have I missed something depressingly obvious?
Thanks, Peter
P.S. I've also tried running the system with all rads closed down except the bedroom one. No change. *sigh*
