Hi can anyone help me I have a solid fuel Central heating system,the issue is that all of a sudden 3 bedroom radioators won't heat up the other 2 rads in the bathroom and hallway work fine as do the rads downstairs,no air locks in the rads so don't know what the problem is,if anyone could help.
 
If it has happened all of a sudden then it's not the thermostatic radiator valves stuck off and it probably dirt in system.
Try turning all the other rads off for a couple of minutes while the heating pump is running to see if rads start to heat. Some solid fuel systems are done wrongly and air can get into pipes.
 
I've already tried switching all the rads off,I'm wondering would it be better to drain the system then take it from there?
 
Usual October problem after heating system dormant all summer. Ensure pins in TRVs free to move, F&E tank has water and no air in system.
