Check the heater valve cable and the heater control valve; you may find a misadjusted cable, a stripped valve, or both.

I’ve looked into this and saw my vin has the non adjustable cable but I haven’t been able to find where this is

The air mix cable is a different cable than the heater valve cable shown in the illustration. Just follow the instructions on the Honda Service News article in my earlier post for the heater valve cable.

1994 and early 1995 Accords had an adjustable air mix cable that required additional adjustments along with the adjustment of the heater valve cable. Mid-1995, 1996, and 1997 Accords had a non-adjustable air mix cable that didn't require the additional step with the air-mix cable.

The instructions gets confusing since they also mentioned the air mix cable; but, you do not need to worry about the air mix cable with your 97 Accord.

@tech8 If you don't mind me asking, where do you find these Honda Service News articles? These are extremely informative.
