Temperature Control Always blows hot

Temperature Control Always blows hot
The temperature control (climate control?) in my "97" Ford Explorer always blows hot air even when turned all the way to cool( blue ) and the ac switch will work in the max position but not in the ac or dash vent position ( blows hot ), also the temperature guage has been climbing to the normal operating temp much faster than ever before ( but has never over heated ) and will never drop below this position even on the coldest of days at any speed. New thermostat didn't help
any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
