All of a sudden A/.C went to heat. When I change the temperature up and down on the electron a control it still blows super hot air. A/C system is new compressor lines and all. Before today A/C was working perfect.

Good afternoon,

I would check the pressures on the AC system to be sure there is sufficient freon in the system The low side should be 20-25 pounds and the high side is 2 times ambient temperature plus 15%

The blend door actuator could also be bad not allowing the door to move.
