Yes or the heater door actuator is broke. Is car overheating? Stuck thermostat? Low coolant? Air in cooling system? Is blower working? Bad blower resistor?

If heater core is blocked you can flush it easily. Tell me nobody put stop leak in your cooling system recently? This stuff is horrible! It plugs stuff up that doesn't need plugged. Chrisfix has a video on YouTube how to clean out and unblock a heater core. It is very detailed and works. A few dollars on clear hoses to hook up to the core.
