Stuck in the cold
So I think my heater control valve has gone out as I no longer get heat from my heater.
My question is...is it possible that it can be something else?
Also, how hard was the labor? Youtube makes it look easy.
Edit: Lastly, which one do I get?

Troubleshoot before dropping new parts.
http://www.mercedesmedic.com/ac-air-...le-codes-list/ shows you how to do it with climatronics having REST button.
If you don't have such, you need to use scanner.

I have the REST button, but my dash looks different than illustrated.
Should I just unplug the battery and see if it resets the system?

Pulling the valve out is easy enough take your time it is doable I've done two of these now, allow yourself 3 hours you'll need it. If you can get a garage to do it in under 2 hours that's good everyone one I spoke to said 4 hours minimum with the stealer quoting upto 7 hours!!!

It probably is the valve, but I have had success getting mine to shift over (from hot to cold in my case) by pushing the button for the defrost function, letting it shift over to that, and then going back to auto, etc. That may be (and likely is) just unsticking some flap, etc in the system, but it has worked for me on more than one occasion. Worth a try. Down where I live, going without air conditioning is brutal.

Read the help site with replies under.
If you have REST and LCD panel displaying the numbers, you don't need to crystal-ball guessing.
As I said- other option is a scanner.
You will know what precisely is wrong in few minutes.

W211 the only port is OBD, so this is where you have to plug each scanner, but cheap OBD II scanners will not support Mercedes-specific modules.
The cheapest scanner I found that can enter MB data is MaxiEcu,

Good news and bad news...
Heater works
I tried the defroster setting and noticed warm air...then I changed the different vents and now I have hot air everywhere...
But now I am confused....do I have a short? Did I press the REST button when I shouldn't have?
What did I do?

I had issues on W210 when for no reason 1 side would blow hot, the other cold. That always reset with ignition cycling.
I took it for computer schizophrenia.

Mine would not reset on a restart. I started pushing buttons trying to get it to shift over and succeeded using the defrost function. Go figure.
