Dimplex Poor Heating Circulation

Boiler runs but radiators do not get hot or only partially warm

Possible Causes

Air trapped in radiators and Dimplex boiler, Sludge build-up in system and Dimplex heat exchanger, Incorrectly set or failed Dimplex circulation pump, Stuck motorised zone valve in closed position

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow radiators to cool before bleeding to avoid scalds.

User steps:

  • Bleed radiators: Use a radiator key to release air from each radiator, starting from the lowest floor. Retop system pressure as needed.
  • Check TRVs and valves: Ensure thermostatic radiator valves and lockshields are open.
  • Check programmer/thermostat: Confirm that the Dimplex controller is calling for heat and that the room thermostat is set above room temperature.

Professional actions:

  • Check Dimplex pump operation and speed settings.
  • Clean or replace blocked Dimplex heat exchangers and system filters.
  • Repair or replace stuck motorised valves.
