Temperature Won't Change

You turn the temperature dial but the air stays the same — always hot or always cold. This is typically a blend-door actuator or control problem.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the air stuck hot (or cold)?

The blend door mixes hot and cold air; if its actuator fails, the door stays in one position and the temperature won't change no matter the setting.

Is this a big repair?

Usually it's a blend-door actuator — a moderate part — and sometimes just a recalibration.
