Several possibilities:
Cable has become detached from the control lever
Cable has become detatched from the heater valve under the cab floor
Cable has 'kinked' and just bends when the control lever is moved
Heater valve is worn internally and can't totally prevent warm water entering the heater matrix

Heat control is the centre lever, and 'cold' is having the lever as far to the left as it can go.
