I know man it’s crazy! 😂😂😂

Can't thank you enough. Superb clear instructive video. Flow and return pipes both cold on one radiator - followed your instructions - opened up lock-shield valve fully - nothing! Still cold. I then turned my attention to the TRV (Siemens) and removed it. The 'pin' (bit sticking up) wouldn't move at all, wasn't sure how far it was supposed to be sticking up. Sprayed some WD40 on it and left it whilst I went to have another look at your video in case I wasn't doing it right. A few minutes later when I returned to the rad - Whoopee!! It was already hot, and the pin was noticeably sticking up further, and I was able to push it down and see that it was free. So thank you so much - you're an absolute star!! .....I have subscribed to your site so that I can return if I need any info another time.

I've never commented on a KZread video before, but this video was so helpful. I'm an absolute DIY novice but I felt like a total pro being able to take apart and fix one of our radiators that wouldn't heat. Thanks for saving me a call to the plumber!

Much appreciation Plumberparts! Due to Covid my wife had to work from from home. But the radiator was not working in her room. After lots of complaints, I followed your advice. I had a problem with the TRV pin, and thanks to your tip of gently knocking the side, the pin opened up! I now have a radiator that works, and a happy wife!

Straight to the point! You didn’t spend ages talking about the reasons why it could be. Went straight it in to the possible fixes. After spending a minute or so on why someone is searching. Perfect! And thank you so much.

Brilliant video, thanks! We've just fixed a sticking valve pin on a Danfoss TRV - exactly as you described. Saved ourselves the callout fee and all the aggro of getting a plumber out (we live in the country and these things take time . . .). Have just watched the balancing video as well and - for the first time - actually begin to understand how the system works! Highly recommended!!

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this. A very clear, easy to follow description. Many thanks.

Thank you for posting this. It has just solved my own issue of one radiator not working. Now its toasty hot. You guys don't need to use your own time doing these videos but I just want to say how much people appreciate and value them. My bedroom is now warm!

Our bedroom rad hasn't worked for a year. Took off the TRV, wiggled the thin pin and it popped up a touch. Pressed it down a few times, making sure it was loose. Put the heating on and the rad came warm!! All thanks to you - much appreciated!

Brilliant, thank you so much! My 1 year old’s room was the only radiator that wasn’t working, now it does thanks to following your advice. My issue was the stuck down pin in the valve. Thanks again!!

Thanks a million for posting this all of 9 years ago! I was looking at guides to try and troubleshoot my cold radiator and NONE of them mentioned a TRV. Anyway, followed your guide and I have a hot radiator. Many thanks!

Thank you!! I’ve just managed to fix my radiator- it was a stuck TRV pin! I’m so happy 😂 thanks so much for sharing content like this, you’ve saved me lots of time, hassle and money because I was going to call someone out to fix it.

Well, this was easily the best made video tutorial, easily explained, no extra bs, and as a pharmacist and more into tech rather than these things, I'm super happy that I didn't have to call for a specialist. Keep up the good work!

Oh wow, watched this today & "fixed" the radiator today while my hubby was at work. When he came home he was totally amazed & wanted to know what Id done... Sorry to tell you Ive not admitted where I got the info from & loving the credit Im getting - I'll leave it till tomorrow & confess it was from this fab website. Thanks. ;-)

Thank you so much for making this video! Your instructions are extremely clear and easy to follow. After watching this I managed to fix two radiators.

Thanks, our radiator issue was solved by the lockshield tip. After having tried everything else 2 years ago, we completely failed to think of messing with the lockshield and have used an electric radiator over winter in that room since then. I followed the instructions to open up the lockshield, and hey presto, a hot radiator :D :D :D

I went through all the processes in this vid and for me it was the trv. I carefully pulled the pin up a bit and instantly the radiator in my bedroom started to get hot after two years of not working and being cold. Its December and I'm able to sit around in my pants..Thanks man 👏😄

Pin was stuck down for me, released the tension and instantly had heat in the pipe them rad! Thanks 🙌🏻

Superb help. I had no idea how simple it was to remove a thermostat. Removed it, wiggled it (just a little bit) and we have a hot radiator. Great work.

Brilliant advice. I had three rads upstairs not working and assumed it was an airlock. Following your advice I found the pins jammed closed on all three rads and was able to free up following your advice. All working fine now. Thanks so much.

Worked for me second time I've fixed something with one of your videos your the man thanks for your help

Thanks!!! Radiator not worked in years!! The pin was stuck down!!

Just moved into a new house with one faulty radiator, it was minus 5 degrees last night and the house wasn't heating up because of this one cold rad. Thanks to this, the radiator is fixed and my cat is enjoying himself in front of the heat. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for this video man, ive had my radiator not working for sooo long, and now i finally sat down to fix it. This simple video made me fix it in under 5 minutes... Tysm man, and keep up the good work!

Awesome! I live in a rented house, and this video has saved me the effort of having to get the letting agency to do something about it. I kind of knew it must be something simple and Google brought me here. The radiator in my office was stone cold, but full of water. Gently pulling on the pin in the TRV made the radiator instantly heat up, and now everything is nice and hot the pin moves around freely again. The hardest part was getting the TRV head off, it's secured with clips and a metal C ring and some old paint, and a bit of rust and clearly hasn't been removed in 20 years.

Clueless college student here. This helped fix the problem within 10 minutes. Thank you so much!

Great vid - the control pin was jammed and after loosening and putting everything back together, the radiator is working great. Thanks mate!!

Legend! I was regretting not watching my dad do this, when I was a kid and he was still here. I really appreciate your help mate. My daughter's bedroom rad is now working perfectly. I'll make sure I teach her for when she needs to know. Many thanks, Liam

Omg!!!!!! Here's me walking into my new house. My partner tells me the rads aren't working at the entire front of the house..."move out the way Bab" I said, holding onto a bleed key like a holy chalice "I'll sort it"...bled the rads, and nothing happened, quite emasculating. So I told my partner, we'll need to call a plumber. 30 days had passed, still hadn't called a plumber. Thought I'd give research one more shot, and came across your vid. Longer story, short...turns out it was the pin that was stuck. Nice toasty rooms now. My partner now calls me Mario. Thank you so much because not only have I now got super hot rads, I'm now my child hood gaming hero to my partner. 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪

So very helpful as my landlord cannot come over due to this flu thing not that it would have bothered me just be warm done all you suggested yesterday as it was first time I'd put heating on since march it was just the one rad that was a problem .I told the landlord what I was going to do point to the KZread video he rang to day to ask how I got on and said I'd done a fantastic job and saved him sending someone out at to boot you're a very handsome guy and explain in easy steps so thank to you I'm now toasty warm

Absolute life saver! I had my walls plastered and they took the radiator off, When I put it back on, it would not get hot while all others did. The TRV pin was stuck - used a little bit of DW40 and gently pulled the pin up, eventually loosening it so it springs back up. Working perfectly now. Thanks!!!

Thankyou so much for posting this. Woman with no clue & just managed to get radiator working in returning sons room on this freezing night. Would never have thought to unscrew temp thing & pull up pin with long nose pliers, but that worked a treat! You've saved me a call out fee. V grateful ☺

Absolute dogs bollocks! Thank you so much for this. I can't believe all this time the radiator wasn't working was due to just my lock shield not being fully open. Keep up the good work.

Magic advise my friend, you just saved me an expensive call out fee. Thanks.

Mr Plumber Parts you are a LEGEND. Well done - you fixed my radiator in minutes and you didn't even have to lift a finger. And you saved me a plumber call-out OR freezing my tootsies off some more. Muchos gracias señor 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Best explanation on YT advice which fixed a cold rad problem easily! Much Brownie points earned in my favour....makes me feel like a real Geezer!

Fantastic!! Thank you so much for taking the time and and work to do all your videos to share with everyone, all my house is now warm.

Thanks i resolved my problem after 2 years! of wondering

Brilliant! Clear and concise and followed your step by step process and at step three discovered the thermostat was stuck after a long period of left shut off. Quick tweak as advised with pincers and working fine now. Thank you.

Three radiators are now working, fixed by myself, with your absolutely valuable help. Thank you so much xx

What causes radiators to be noisy. I have the old side on Thermostatic valves. At 2 it is quiet and the radiator is barely warm. At 3 it's boiling and you can hear the water rushing through or/and the radiator is noisy.. This radiator is upstairs.

Thanks so much for the extremely helpful video. Mine was the pin problem and as soon as I managed to adjust it the radiator worked. Very grateful to you 😁👏

For those who are not plumbers, don't forget if you start adjusting your lockshield valve it will need balancing again afterwards to get the correct flow through your radiator, or else you can cause further problems elsewhere in your system, as well as with that first problem rad.

OMG Thank you so much for this really clear and precise video. I had 1 bedroom radiator that just would not come on while all the others in the house were lovely and hot. Watched your video and it worked within minutes. It was the lock shield valve that was not fully on - one quick turn with a spanner and I could hear the radiator come to life. Thank you so much. My husband passed away 6 years ago and he would have automatically known what to do but as a woman on my own things like this are difficult, but with wonderful you tube I can practically try and fix anything myself !!

Had a new boiler installed yesterday/today. Kitchen radiator wasn't working. Quick google and you got it sorted for me with the Lock Shield Valve. Many thanks @Plumberparts

You sir are an absolute diamond. Most people would charge for this but you just helped my little girl stay lovley and warm. Thank you

Cheers mate, your comments on balancing the system made me watch your other video and now the dodgy upstairs rad in my new house works 👍

Fantastic, just got my one non working radiator working again. Very good and clear instructions. Thank you.

Just used this guys advise to start one of radiators and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much. Excellent.

Thank you! This is amazing. I gave that little pin a tap with the hammer and it popped straight up and brought the heat through. I'm so grateful, I had very cold young children and was totally at a loss. Thank you 😊

Top man! I found the pin under the TRV was stuck in. Slight wiggle with some pliers and up it popped. Amazing how something so small could cause an issue like a whole rad going stone cold....saved me some money at any rate. God bless you.

thanks to this guy i just fixed my radiator ,it was cold in that room since last year,cheers mate.

This video got my radiator working. After some dimwit from the council removed it and didn't come back. Never done this before but I didn't realise it had a lockshield. Apart from that , everything else was bled and open and flowing. Much appreciated for this video.

Thank you for being one of those caring proffessionals that shares logical and well explained layman terms knowledge, I had one radiator stop working and British gas took it off clean it out (which I had already done having read on another video sludge could be a problem) and there was nothing coming out when he did it (obviously as I had already done it and told him), he put sludge buster in my water tank and basically gave up but said boiler was all good and other radiators and said maybe need floorboards ripping up to find problem 😲and that was that. I have lived with that issue for years until another radiator went cold then a a couple months later another one until today all but first and last had stopped working - having seen your video I carefully took off the regulator valve on each radiator and notice because i was in a hard water area the pins had locked down - i took your advice and gently wiggled them and cleaned them and immediately heard the rush sound and they heated up - everything fixed thanks to you and in 2022 with the fuels hikes and everything expensive and being unemployed this has save me an immense headache and stress! May you have great and happy times ahead for passing on good knowledge.

Your a star so simple and effective training , I had done steps one and two but never come across a thermostatic valve failure before . Top man thank you

One of the best videos about radiators I've ever seen. Pulled the pin up and now its working.

Hi I just wanted to say a huge thank you from myself, daughter Beth and her partner Nelly you have solved our problem tonight and we are so grateful for your advice! Thank you again

Thank you for your advice. Followed your simple instructions and fixed the one radiator which was not working. The trv was down. With some tweaking the radiator is working as normal. Thank you again.

Thank you soooo much! I'm living in a crappy student house and my heater wasn't working while I was having a cold. Was very frustrated but decided to check a quick video, you saved me so much time and suffering. Thank you once again!

Great video thanks. Radiator hasn't been working for two years. Saw this video, tried what was instructed - and it was the pin on a Danfoss which was stuck. Fixed it in under 5 minutes. Job done! Thanks again.

Legend!! I’ve had a radiator in the kitchen not working since I moved in, watched your video and found my trv pin stuck, wiggled it with pliers and bingo! Heat straight away! Thanks bud, appreciate your help!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thankyou so much 😄 Kitchen radiator now working again? Had to close the return valve 1st then fully opened again! Very happy!!!

Great tutorial, I went through all the steps and tuned out it was the last problem-thermostatic valve's TRV pin, radiator fixed now and I'm hot again hahaha, lesson for life time, many thanks and good luck!!!

We just bought our first home (old house) a month ago, turned the heating on and one room was cold when all others were piping hot. So was just about to call plumbing and spend our little savings left to fix this when I stumbled on your video, the stuck pin has fixed it for us. Thanks a million for your video, it has saved us some money we can now keep as an emergency while we find our what else needs fixing in our home

Thanks dude! 9 years later and you're still saving the day!

I followed your instructions and got my one cold radiator to work. Horay!!!!! Thank you so much for your easy video 😁

As always, spot on advice which solved my issues. 3 thermostatic valves jammed closed. A few love taps with a spanner and ping … working rads 😊.

Absolute gent, thank you. It's January and below freezing outside, the information in this video was very welcome.

I had every problem described in this video. After completing I finally got heat in the one radiator that hasn't worked in over a year. Thank you so Much!!

Fantastic video, the pin on the TRV was stuck down and after a quick wiggle it popped back up!! Radiator working!! Many thanks

7 years old video and still helps us today. Really appreciated, Thank you.

Wow, thank you so much for this clear and easy to follow video. My baby's room is nice and warm now.

Thank you, thank you. Followed this and the balancing video and my cold bedroom radiator is now working after we balanced. Who knew there was such a thing. Your are a godsend

Can't thank you enough!!! Rad has been freezing for ages, never knew what it was. Bled it a few times and it made no difference. Saw this video and checked the TRV. The little pin seemed fine, so I first thought that wasn't the problem. Gave it a little wiggle anyway. The rad started getting warm instantly, and was nice and hot before I could even screw the TRV back on! I'm gonna be nice and warm when I go for a poo now, all thanks to you! Cheers!!!

Brilliant info. Now fixed the bedroom rad with you're help. Many thanks.

Brilliant thank you so much. As like many it was the last part that I couldn’t figure out. 2 mins and working again. Bravo!

THANK YOU !! So easy to fix. Was the pin underneath the heat valve that was stopping my daughter’s radiator from heating up. So easy once you know how. Thanks for sharing your knowledge xx
