We have taken my daughters Mazda 3 or 4 times to get the ac repaired. It will blow cold about 3 days and then it will start blowing hot again. The guy says that it has plenty of freon and that the compressor seems to be working fine. He keeps replacing a fuse and it will work for a few days and then it blows the fuse. The guy says he doesn't know why it keeps blowing the fuse. Do you know what this might be?

If a fuse keeps blowing, that means something is shorting out. Any components or wiring of the fuse circuit is a possibility and being intermittent, it is not going to be easy to detect.

Which fuse is that?
