I have hot water radiator located throughout my house. The problem I am having is someof them are cold while other I think should be a bit warmer. There are two in particular that are not warm but one of the two is warm at the shutoff valve on the radiator. Now I have bled all radiators and some had air and released water but others also had air but do not release any water. Why is is that some release water while others do not? Could this be a problem or is it normal. All of the valves on all radiators are on. So i guess to sum up my question why is there no water getting released from radiators when they are bled.

Thanks

The water feeder may not be adding water to the system as air is released. You may have to add it manually or you may just have to wait an hour between bleeding radiators. Maybe the feeder will add slowly and not need attention. Bleed them all until you get water.
