Welcome to CL as a new poster.

So the warm air does not go to the defrost or floor vents even when you set the proper controls/buttons/levers for it to do so? The are several possible causes, but the most likely one is probably a bad regulator that directs which vent-door/passageway to open or shut when the controls are moved. In modern cars, that is usually done electrically, especially in cars with automatic climate-control.
