Default Blend door help

It's got a 2013 jku and the second day we had it noticed the heat wasn't working. Took it back to the dealer they fixed it the same day and said the blend door was stuck. Heat worked great all weekend and this morning it appears the door is stuck again. How can I manually open the blend door? Any advice?

You can't, you probably need the actuators replaced. You can do the one on the passenger side by taking the glove box out, but the drivers side is more work. It cost me $363 at the dealer to replace the drivers side

Thanks for the reply. I should have the new actuator tonight and I'm going to try and replace it.

I did mine. It's a pain (literally) to get up in there! I took my seat out so I could lay in there and look behind the dash. It's not the easiest part to get to! Make sure the arm on the actuator hooks onto the piece on the door or you will have the same prob and have to take it all back apart

Mine was getting warm but not hot at all. I tried to change this and it ended up being the heater core on mine.
