Press the EC button on your panel.

If that doesn't do it, your servo motor might have **** the bed.

'98 C43 AMG. Obsidian Blk w/2 tone slvr/blk interior
also just let the car sit for a long time and check it again. my old '96 c280 would do that once the AC froze solid, the air flow would be blocked but once the ice melted it would be able to pass again. i think it was just low on refridgerant... i never got it fixed and then someone conveniently crashed into my car to resolve the issue... then i got a car with functional climate control...
