Can a thermostatic valve be repaired?
You can fix it by unscrewing the head of the TRV and taking a look at the pin – is it sticking up out of the body of the valve? If it’s stuck inside the valve or stiff, a spray of WD40 will probably fix it. You can also try using a pair of long-nosed pliers to pull it out further.
