Thanks for the replies. I have already taken it apart and cleaned it. It really was pretty clean.

Onehundred80.......... if the valves are normally open. Do you know what the trigger is to close them?

We ran the the car for 45 minutes to test the AC last night. Stayed cold the whole trip.
This morning 30 minutes to work, AC stayed cold.
This afternoon on the way home. Cold AC for 10 minutes. Then driver side went full hot.
Turned it off 2 min. then back on still hot driver side, then a few minutes later all cold again for next 25 minutes home.
Its odd that this same scenario exists across so many different cars.
