Oil filled radiators not warming up?

[maxiewaxie]

Does anyone know why my 2 oil filled radiators will not come on, they are not very old and worked perfectly last Winter but I've just tried to get them going and although the lights come on they don't heat up at all.

Thank you

If they are not very old as you say, take them back whence you bought them.

I`ve been waiting to use that word for ages....Whence......whence.....s`got a ring to it don`cher fink?

if they have a thermostat its prob not cold enough yet, turn the stat up full bore

I seem to remember that last winter my oil filled rads didn't warm up very quickly, as already suggested check the thermostat and turn it up, but they seem to take a long time to warm after months of not being in use..............hope this helps.......welsh

Thermostats sometimes need a tap to release them from their forced idleness.
