Radiator turns itself off

They can stick you can unscrew the plastic cover off them and free up the little nipple thing with a coin or something. Clean it and Use wd40 it should be okay.

Is your house haunted

I had same problem. What i had to do was switch the hall radiator off in the hall. That is where the thermostat is so I think it may have something to do with that

When it does it the next time, take the head of the trv and see where the little steel pin is height wise, it should be 8-10mm sticking up, if it's not, there's your problem

In the short term, you can then turn down the lockshield on the other side to control the flow (if the room gets too hot)

Does it need bleeding to let the trapped air out?
I'm talking about the radiator and not your husband

already bleed the radiator. it was installed only a month ago but the TRV is just a year old. I will have a look at the TRV pin to see if it is stuck. i did see that video about removing the trv cover but as the radiator works fine for a few hours before it turns itself off, it doesn't seem to point to the pin being stuck as then it would not have worked at all rather than turn itself off after it had worked.

this would indicate that the boiler switches off because it thinks the house has reached the correct temperature but in my case, the boiler stays on and the other radiators in the house stay on, just this one in the living room, which is the biggest radiator in the house.

So did mine. Exactly same problem as I said I had to turn hall radiator off for my living room to stay on. I had that problem until Sunday don't know but for some reason I switched hall one off and surprisingly my living room came back on it's been fine since then

do you have to keep your hall radiator off or could you turn it back on again after that?

Deja Vu

If the TRV is set to maximum there is absolutely no point in having it. However try swapping it with another one of your TRV's and that will tell you if it's the head unit or the pin on the valve

Do you use an additional way of heating the living room?

If so, the TRV is doing its job. It senses the living room has reached the required temperature so switches off the radiator.

If you do not have additional heating in the living room then investigate as per other suggestions

strangely enough, this seems to have some sort of effect as now the living room radiator gets really hot, whereas previously it never got extremely hot! i only turned the radiator in the hall off for about 5 minutes before I put it back on so it is on again now. so it seems to be that you don't need to keep that radiator off, just turn it off and then on again after a short break. so weird.

i looked up how a radiator valve works and it seems to regulate itself through either an expanding liquid or wax. i didn't know they had a thermometer inside them, i just thought they only turn the radiator valve!

there is a TV cupboard in front of the radiator and so the TRV is hidden away by the TV unit. i am thinking it doesn't sense the room temperature correctly as it is hidden away and so it gets very hot behind the TV cupboard and thinks the rest of room is very hot, and so turns the radiator valve off. i have therefore moved the cupboard a little bit so that the TRV is fully exposed to the room and so hopefully this will help solve the problem as it may now be able to detect the room temperature better.

You didn't know that a thermostatic radiator valve had a thermostat in them? Seriously?
