Today i turned the knob from cool to hot on my 93 accord and i felt like it was getting stuck when i was turning the knob so i turn it back to cool once i was getting cool i felt like the cable snapped.now my knobs just turn but freely.does anyone know how to fix this.

Mine does it occasionally, it's a PITA.
Take off the dash, take off the ac/heat controls, look on the back and unscrew where the cable goes (you'll see where it is), put the cable back on.
Only takes 15-20 mins, but it's annoying.

While your in there you should spray some crc down the cable to free it up a bit.
Have a look in the engine bay (at the back) at the 2 hoses that go into the firewall.
If you trace them back towards the engine, you will see a valve with a cable attached to it. Make sure the cable hasn't popped off from there either.
You can check the knob operation by moving the valve by hand and then having a look at the knob to see if it has moved.
