Radiators are very useful when it comes to generating heat inside the home for those winter months. It can be frustrating when your radiator breaks. There are a lot of reasons why this can happen. We listed just a few reasons below that are worth checking.
The radiator is not emitting any heat or it feels cold to the touch
The cause for this can either be an electrical problem or a clogged pump or pipe. Ensure that the fuse isn’t blown.
The radiator is only warm at the bottom
This is an issue that can happen when the system needs flushing. The radiator will have to be taken off the wall and flushed with water. If the problem persists, you may need to call a professional to help fix it as the problem may be a blocked pipe, broken pump, or the radiator was simply poorly designed right from the start.
The radiator is only warm at the top
Just like in the previous issue, something needs to be cleared out inside the radiator so the device will have to be removed from the wall and flushed with water. If the problems persist, then you will have to call in a professional to deal with the issue.
System Pressure is too low
This problem occurs if there’s a leak in the system somewhere or something went wrong after a flush. Refer to the user’s manual on how to troubleshoot basic issues like this. If the problem persists you may already need to call for a professional to come and check it.
Nothing wrong with the radiator but it still doesn't function as well
In this case, the problem may already have something to do with the boiler. Call a reliable company to come take a look.
Leaks
If the radiator leaks, it can be very difficult to locate. Worst-case scenario you will have to replace the radiator. Unless you are skilled in patching up holes, this problem is going to take time to do as you need some planning.

Radiators can be tricky to work with as you are dealing with fluids, electrical components, and gases. The user’s manual for these things can only offer so much before you run into a brick wall. Manufacturers don’t want people to be messing with their products. And even if that’s not the issue, your technical skills in determining how to fix the thing might not be enough.
