If the Genius Radiator Valve is showing a low target temperature but the radiator is still hot, this means that the Genius Radiator Valve cannot control the water flowing through the radiator, this may be because of the following reasons: • The valve body (the metal part that the water flows through) may be corroded inside, which means that the Genius Radiator Valve cannot push the valve shut. This means that the wireless valve needs to be removed from the valve body, and with a pair of pliers or end of a large spanner, the pin on the valve needs to be worked free. Be careful doing this as if the valve is in poor condition this may cause the valve to leak. If it is not possible to free up the valve, then it will need to be replaced. • The Genius Radiator Valve may be cross threaded onto the valve body. This means that the Genius Radiator Valve cannot push down on the valve effectively. To rectify this the Genius Radiator Valve needs to be removed from the valve body and remounted. • If the valve bodies are Danfoss RA-FS type, sometimes the grub-screw that is tightened up with an Allen key is not tightened up enough, and the white adapter ring rises up the valve; you will see a small gap under the adapter ring. This means that the Genius Radiator Valve cannot control the pin properly in the valve. To rectify this the Genius Radiator Valve needs to be removed from the valve body and remounted so that the white adapter ring is tight up against the valve.
