Jeep Compass no floor heat issue, heat only comes from top vents on Jeep Compass

Problem overview

Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing a no floor heat issue, where heat is only coming from the top vents. This problem may be attributed to a malfunctioning blend door actuator, similar to cases where cold air only exits through the defrost vents. Additionally, some owners find that a calibration process is necessary after replacing the actuator to ensure proper heat distribution, as heat may work but fail to direct to the floor. In certain instances, when the HVAC is set to the floor, heat may still come from the defrost and front vents, indicating potential issues with HVAC settings or system configuration. Furthermore, weak airflow from the center and rear vents can be improved by adjusting the fan to a higher setting. Addressing these concerns is crucial for restoring proper heating functionality in the Jeep Compass.
