Tempuature control knob.. Stuck on hot, wont turn

I'm having issues with the temp control knob,
it's pretty much stuck on hot, I turn it to cold and it fights me and ends up poppin back over to hot..
I didn't want to force and break it.
Any solutions?
Thanks

Common issue with our cars. I would start by pulling out the Hvac and disconnecting the cable to see where the issue is. There is plenty of info on here about this problem I would search around too.

I've done a few searches prior to starting this post and didn't find what I was looking for.
Do you know the title to the thread or can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you.

Hey just to let you know I have had the same problem and you can go under the dash on the drivers side you will see a white plate with another plate on it with what looks like a bike brake cable something like that but yes you can manually flip it from hot to cold or vice versa.. I tried everything to fix it but you need a new cable I assume but this works for me it's a pain in the a$$ sometimes but it works! hope this helps!
