Dimplex
Poor Heating Circulation
Boiler runs but radiators do not get hot or only partially warm
Advertisements
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.
