Default Radiator valve head operation

Yes there are two radiators like this in a room we rent for the talking
newspaper, in the main the one working one is sufficient, but occasionally
in really arctic weather it would be nice to get one going. The building
manage could not give a xxxx of course.

Although the pins move up and down I think sometimes the sealing washer
sticks to the seat.

A sharp rap to the side of the valve body with a small hammer can
sometimes shock the jumper off its seat but this is only a temporary
repair once its started sticking in my experience.
