As said, check the compressor on it... when you turn on the A/C do you see it engage and stay on in the engine compartment?
Also, it might be the blend door that is at fault. Does it still blow hot when you put it on MAX A/C (as that bypasses the heater core so it does not matter if the blend door is in the wrong position)?

Run a jumper wire from the battery to the compressor and see if it kicks in. If it kicks in you could have a bad AC cycling switch.

should not be the blend door if still hot on A/C max. Unless it is the door and the bypass valve (vacuum controlled) that shuts of the coolant to the heater core in that mode (they are also known to have issues).
