Would be interesting to have a look.
I suspect though, that the couple between the stepper motor, and the blend door, has broken, so the blend door is basically just 'flappin' in the breeze'.... which is why it works sometimes, and not others. You can drop the motor, (two screws, and an electrical connector) and check it. (I won't say 'easily', as the back screw is fun to get to.)

Oh, if you had the system refilled, pull the dust caps at the ports(you do have them, don't you?) The type of ports used have a tendency to **** a little when you have the system serviced, resulting in a slow freon leak(ask me how I know) A little bit of water in the port will tell you if it's leaking. If it is, just pop the inside with the end of a ball point cartridge and it should seal. be sure to install the caps again. They have a seal on them to give you a 2nd point of defense against a leak.
