How to Flush or ?

Options
i think my radiator is blocked because the pipe that carries the hot water is hot and the one coming out is cold. the whole radiator is cold as well. i have tried opening the valves at both ends and also tried bleeding. water came out instantly after bleeding which indicates air trapping is ruled out.
after trying to work on the valves the radiator still doesnt work.

    Try shutting both valves, Open one and try bleeding then close that one and open the other and bleed that.

    If one of the tubes is blocked that should show which one.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
  • Is one of the valves a thermostatic one?
