Center vent not blowing air

Today it was warm so I turned AC with auto setting while outside air temp about 82F and setting 72F cool air get out from side vents and rear but center vent no air. I tried max cool, change mode settings and everything tested but still no air at all from center vent.
can you advice what I need to check.
Last time I used AC from 4 months before winter and everything was fine.

The maintenance done during the winter was replacing steering rack, replacing main battery, replacing broken coolant hose or valve, replace broken oil hose in the rear of engine and finally last week painting for front and rear bumper and replacing right side mirror cover by insurance company.

I am thinking to schedule a checkup for it with dealer to check but before that what do you advice before through money to dealer

Get a scanner and check for codes. If something is stuck, it'll throw a code.

I recommend the LAUNCH Creader Elite 2.0 BENZ for scanning and clearing codes. If you need more than that, reach out to BenzNinja.

I checked the codes, I see only one that the servo motor is faulty, I checked the live data, the air center circulated vent NA values. Try to reinitialize it same issue. So the flap motor is not working. Do you have the part number to look for it.
I have one for W203.

What is your complete model number? Should be 212.XXX or 212XXX if you put your VIN in at www.lastvin.com.

2219066900 is the correct part number. I don't know what is involved in replacing it. Apparently, you just remove the glove box and access the actuator motor from the side that the glove box is on. The instructions are in document AR83.10-P-2001CW.

You should get a copy of the WIS/ASRA and EPC. They are about $33 on eBay. They are the shop manual and parts catalog.

I have replaced the Actuator 2219066900 and everything is ok.
The location for the central vents motor location is not side to the glove box(This one is for Foot vents of passenger side). The correct location is close to driver side so you have to remove the panel in the driver side to access it and replace.
