Sounds like, as a few have mentioned, that you have bent the bowden cable
that controls the heater valve.

You can take everything apart and bend the cable back, but in my experience
this is a very temporary fix, and it will bend in the same place again very
soon.  On the upside, you will be must faster at the band-aid-repair the
second time you go in there to fix it.

Buy a new heater control cable and take the time to do it right THE FIRST
TIME.  :)
