Heater vent problems

HVAC is only coming out of the dash vents. I took off the actuator above the gas pedal to find out that the upper of the two arms to open and close the vents has broken off. Also with the actuator removed it doesn't work all the time when I adjust from the dash vents to defrost.
My questions are where can I start looking for the part I have to replace, will I have to take apart the whole dash(im guessing I will), and is there any other reason why the actuator may not be working other then it burnt out if the vent was just stuck before the arm broke off?
