The air door that directs air that way is operated by vacuum but the default in the absence of vacuum, the default position is defrost so the door must be stuck. You might be able to free it up by hand.
I don't have pictures of it but you should be able find it under the dash. It will have 2 vacuum hoses to it. One is black and yellow and the other is black and red
