My husband has moved a radiator to a different wall, but now it won't heat up. We have bled all the radiators, but no luck. Any ideas?

When this happened to me it was because I had installed a valve to let me shut off just the part of the system I was working on, then I forgot I had done so, and left it turned off. Brilliant, huh?
A zone valve in your system could be worn out, broken or disconnected, which you can usually tell if it doesn't respond to the thermostat.
Short of a kinked pipe someplace, a hookup error, or an "unbleedable" air bubble someplace,(Which you would have to find a way to bleed, despite the impossibility of it) I can't think of anything that would make the thing stay cold like that. Good luck.
