Blend Doors

Blend doors control the mixing of hot and cold air and the direction of airflow inside the HVAC system.

  • Clicking noise from behind dashboard (actuator gears stripping)
  • One side blows hot, other blows cold
  • Air only comes from one set of vents
  • Temperature doesn’t change despite adjustment

Multiple actuators control different blend doors:

  • Temperature blend (hot/cold mixing)
  • Mode blend (face/feet/windshield distribution)
  • Fresh air/recirculation door

Actuator replacement requires partial dashboard disassembly. If doing a heater core, replace all blend door actuators at the same time.
