Default AC Problem

Having a problem with my AC. Will blow cold air fine for about 15-20 min, blows hot. Turn it off for a while and same thin hapens, cold then hot. Have had charge checked with RobinAIR machine, charge is ok. Replaced both High and Low switches but was no help
Any Ideas?

Have you looked for a leak in your system? Is your system staying charged?

Replace the orifice tube in the liquid line (about 4 bucks). You should also replace the accumulator/drier/filter anytime you open up the system.
