The way I understand it, the valve is manual on the core and the switch up front only turns on the blower. The valve handle on mine is snapped off and I was playing around with it and, not knowing which way was open or closed, closed it such that even with the blower on, no heat comes out.

BTW, the valve does separate from the core quite easily, but I'm not sure what's involved as far as sealing it up.
