It sounds like one of the blend doors is either stuck or the component that moves it is not working. The component could be powered by vac or electric. You may need a shop manual to get the repair instructions.

SOURCE: The Air flows through only the defrost and feet vents

Inside the ventilation system there is gates that open and close to direct the air flow. These are operated on vacuum on most vehicles. The hose for that perticular gate may have disconnected somehow or has a hole in it. I suggest you take the heater controls out and see if there is a plug with a series of colored hoses on it. it so you'll have to trace each of them to see which one is the problem. Now you may be able to get some help from you local dealers mechanic who just may know the color code for that gate. (which would be a bonus) Good Luck

SOURCE: air blowing out defroster vents and floor vents

Check your vacuum lines; you probably have a vacuum leak that is preventing the flaps from closing and opening upon "command."

Vents won't blow hot or cold air. Comes from defrost and feet when you put fan on.

It's the vent actuator, it moves the baffle that changes the direction of the air flow.
Here is a video of a broken vacuum hose that creates the same problem.

It could also be a failed actuator.

1992 nissan sentra; front vents blowing only blowing. Defroster vents and feet do not blow any air.

Everything is under the dash.you should check for vacuum at the switch for the control that opens the air direction flap.

No air flow to dash vents and feet vents

99% of the time when they do that it is the control head. that is the thing you adjust all your temp settings on. have to purchase from dealer. have last eight digits of vin # when ordering.
