Ensure that the setscrew is tight where the cable wire meets its pivot point on the blend-door arm and that the cable's spiral sheath is secured down there in its clip. Although you're moving the temperature lever on the dash to max cool, the cable might just be sliding back and forth and not actually moving the blend door itself to shut-off the heat.
