why are you hitting the pin just pull on it with a pair of pliers and then wd40 fixes in less than 1 min

WD40 does not lubricate unless you get the specific kind.

THANKYOU! 2 years with the rad in the conservatory not working. The pin popped out as soon as I took the controller cap off. RADIATOR WORKS. 🎉🎉🎉

that pin can come out flying when you hitting it like that and start to leak so hit it carefully!

Memester :
Ideally, use a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant that’s compatible with rubber seals. Regular WD-40 can help free a stuck pin, but it’s not the best choice for long-term lubrication. Excess oil can also attract dirt. Usually, gently pressing the pin in and letting it spring back is enough. Never pull the pin out!

WD40 is not a lubricant, use a light machine oil

MELODY :
Evening, I paid British gas to put new individual thermostats on each radiator. I am convinced they are not correctly fitted as some rooms number 4 is warm & in another room number 4 is cold. Appreciate any advice please.

They advertise the most absurd usages of WD40, while just a tiny drop of it solves the problem, without the hammering.
