Question heating issue right side work LEFT Don't work at all

Hello,
I do not have the possibility of writing in another technical forum zone so I write hire

I have a problem with heating, namely left side does not heat at all when righ work.
Funny thing is that on the middle konsole bottom sides and center on top of radio are running through same air feeder. But I can feel that the right heat and left don't
I checked the whole mechanism from the bottom and looks ok and do work as I set.
I have a question or somewhere earlier is a any distributor to the right, the left side?
I check all what I can without taking off a dash panel and looks to be ok.

I a picture to show what I'm about

Just off of my personal experience. I had this exact same issue and did the heater control re solder. That didn't fix my issue so i moved forward and flushed my heater core. That worked, until i bypassed it.

williard1 Thx for replay
My heater controller works properly,when I turn left/right air blow and temperature change BUT only on the right side.
So You suggesting that my air conditioning heater core may be clogged somewhere?
I want to refresh and lound ait con. any way, but want fix that issue before doing this

ps.If I want to unclog the heaters I have to pull it out and remove all entire dashboard?

You only have 1 heater core.. Under the washer fluid tank a bit to the right when looking head on their are two hoses with clamps on them. These are the two that go into the heater core. 1 is an inlet and 1 is an outlet. Remove these hoses WHILE THE CAR IS COOL! otherwise you will be wearing steaming coolant. You can try to do it with compressed air. I've heard of people using CLR first then flushing it with water. I used compressed air the first time and then flushed it with the hose. Thats when i found i have a leak in my heater core hence the reason i bypassed it until i get a new heater core. There are several threads already created about this just search a bit and you will find all the info you need.

I flush with CLR 3 times (when each one sit inside for 10min), then flush with soem calcium cleaner, then flush with clean water both direction. All time water was clean.
When I turn heater/fun full is blowing LEFT corner 97[°F] and RIGHT 140[°F].
