Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blend Door Actuator P/N:604-375
Get your cabin temperature and airflow back under control with the Dorman HVAC heater blend door actuator (MPN 604-228), a direct-fit replacement for the MAIN blend-door position on a wide range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2004-2009 Ford F-150 and 2011-2019 Ford Explorer. This small electric actuator drives the blend door inside the HVAC housing, positioning it to control how air is directed and blended — if a worn or electrically burned-out actuator is the cause of clicking behind the dash, temperature settings that won't change, or airflow stuck on one setting, this Dorman air door actuator replaces it.
Fits the MAIN position on many Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this air door actuator do?
It's the small electric motor that positions the blend door inside the HVAC housing to control how air is directed and blended. If a failed actuator is causing your temperature or airflow problems, this replaces it.
Which actuator position does 604-228 replace?
This part is the MAIN blend-door actuator. Because many vehicles use several HVAC door actuators for different positions, review the application notes to confirm it matches the one you need to replace.
Is this the right heater blend door actuator for a 2011-2019 Ford Explorer?
Yes, it's listed for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, along with many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year and configuration.
What are signs the blend door actuator may need replacing?
Clicking or knocking behind the dash, temperature that won't change, or air stuck on one setting can be signs. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
What numbers does this Dorman blend door actuator cross-reference?
It replaces numbers including APBDA0130, J04010, ADA219, ADS221, 73014 and several Ford OE numbers such as 4F2Z19E616FA and AA5Z19E616A. See the full Interchange list for all references.
