There is no centre fan. there is a single blower with pumps air out of all vents. The direction of airflow (windscreen, face, feet etc) is controlled by small motors which adjust flaps within the heater box. I'd say the motor which controls the flaps to direct air out of the centre vents has passed its use by date or the rod connecting the motor to the flaps has come off.

I highly doubt a mechanic would take on that sorta job. I don't know if you can do it, it depends on how confident you are at working on cars. What I suggested may not be the cause, but if it is it may be a dash out job depending on how accessible the motor/rod is (the flap itself may even be broken inside the heater box - that is definitely a dash out job). Removing the dash isn't as hard as you would think. an experienced person could have it out in about an hour. Pop you head under the dash and have a look around - focus on the centre of the dash as thats where the main part of the heater box is. you may need to remove some basic lower trim panels like the glovebox to get a better view. While looking under there, adjust the heater controls to blow onto the windscreen, feet etc and it will give you a better idea of how it all works under there - which may help you locate the problem.

as ozz1 has said, if your one has the single dial on the heater control then it will be the controls themselves that are faulty, all electric circuit boards inside it and it wont change the direction for the vents. You'll need to replace them, and mechanic can do it easy enough

The fuse box is in the engine bay.
Look in top left corner if looking at it from front. ('96 Accord owner)
