Only radiator that runs cold. The rubber cap on top just spins freely so cant really open it or closed it. I believe this might be the culprit of why it is cold. But I have no idea what the metal things is on top when turning it to open. your wisdom and any tips is much appreciated

    It's a stop to limit the valve to half a turn.

    Seems the knob is stripped.

    Its a butterfly valve and it is in the open position … Something else is the problem…
