2007 Camry Heater problem

[wetherburner]

Hi guys,
I have a 2007 Camry SE-V6 and recently noticed my heater is not working properly.
The fan dial works fine and I can adjust the speed of the fan no problem. When I adjust from the defroster, to the feet, to the face etc.. I don't hear that noise I usually hear of the system opening or closing the appropriate vents in behind the dash - all I hear is the fan blower going - as though it's just blowing on my windshield but no air seems to be coming in any of the vents (ie. if I put the dial to the face and the fan speed on high, no air comes out the vents).
If I adjust the temperature, I can feel heat is there vs. cold but since no air is blowing out (all I hear is the blower fan going), I don't get any heat in the cabin.
Is this a fuse problem or something more serious? I have about 70,000km so I'm out warranty of course....
Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated.

Sounds like the direction gate(s)/dampers are either stuck or have come unattached from the operating control.

Read your Service manual for a description/picture of how the dampers operate and the troublehooting steps.

You have a simple system compared to the automatic XLE setup.

Thanks. I just read through the air-conditioning Service Manual and it seems to imply that if there is no air flow mode control, which I believe is the problem, that perhaps I need to replace the Air Mix Control Servo Motor.

I'm thinking this is something I'll need to get the dealer to look into.

The only variable between it working and no longer working is I took the car through a car wash on Saturday night. Is it possible the dryer/blower in the car wash could cause the damper to come unattached from the operating control? I wasn't able to ascertain in the service manual if these controls are under the hood near the firewall or inside the cabin. I'm thinking they are inside the cabin behind the dash and if so, the timing of the car wash must have just been a coincidence.

Anyway, thanks again.

The controls are behind the dash....nothing to do with the car wash. The servo motor could be bad or just disconnected.
