What causes a plugged heater core?
Heater cores don’t normally clog up on their own. It’s usually caused by an outside force. If you run straight water in your cooling system or your cooling system is full of scale and rust, your heater core can clog up. While the engine is cool, remove the radiator cap and inspect the coolant.

Why is my heater not working on my Buick Encore?
If you have a heater core that clogged, it’s not going to be able to pass coolant through. Without the warm coolant going through it, there can be no heat. A bad heater core can also leak, so watch out for that. Feel your passenger floorboard to see if it’s wet.
