When l stop and switch it off and start back it will blow cool again. It’s getting to be ongoing. Started about a month ago. I changed the bottom blend door actuator about 6 years ago, I had a similar problem with the side vents going to hot.

This sounds like a problem with the door actuator mode which is common. What happens is the potentiometer going out inside the actuator which causes the operation problem. Here is a generic guide to help you see what you are getting yourself into with the repair with instructions on how to change it out in the images below:
