in THE MAIN WALL
I took off the little air vent and blew thru it and it was clear. Just was wondering why only half my radiater gets hot.

    Does your radiator

    have one pipe or two pipes attached to it?

    That really is

    a job for a pro. Lots of things can go wrong when you start taking the pipes apart on these systems. Take a look in Find a Professional.
