Hello everyone,
We have now been living in our new house for a week. Our main bathroom is equipped with underfloor heating consisting of 3 heating loops. The spacing of the heating pipes is 5cm (2 inches). Unfortunately, I noticed that one of the heating loops is not warming up, and it happens to be the one under the toilet :-(
What I have tried so far is setting all 3 loops on the manifold to the maximum flow rate, currently at 4 liters per minute (1 gallon per minute). The ERR function is deactivated. The room temperature setting on the heating system itself (heat pump) is set to 22°C (72°F).
What can be observed is that the floor areas with the other 2 heating loops are warming up, but the tiles above the 3rd heating loop remain completely cold. The building handover has already taken place, but the heating system was accepted on the condition that the heating itself works properly, while the heat distribution still needs to be assessed.
Does anyone have any ideas on what else I could try? I assume I can rule out a kinked pipe in the heating loop if I see visible flow on the related flow meter, right?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Just have the heating engineer come now and fix it.If it were that simple, the heating engineer was hired by the general contractor and is 400km (250 miles) away. Before anything happens, I first need to submit an official defect report with a deadline.
