That sounds about right. There have been a lot of cases with faulty actuators. They are computer controlled. If a code is set, they will default to a set position, or it’s stuck. The blend door itself could be stuck as well. You can have your blend door actuator replaced by a certified mechanic. I would recommend having an inspection of your AC issue before moving onto a repair.
