Should the compressor run when the defroster is on? I can hear it cycle on and off but not sure if it should be doing that.

 

Yes..

 

Yep. Reason being, Refrigerated air carries less moisture...... and yes, it does the same thing in the winter too... when ALL the air is already refrigerated.....

 

The physics involves the fact that cold air cannot support moisture, so the moisture drops out of the air (as condensate) into the bottom of the air box.....and hopefully out through the drain....OK....Too much technical...even for the tech section....:icon_playi ng:

would have written a very technical piece
about the thermodynamic principles involved
with lots of copy/paste
and in this short sentence format
that would have put
your description to shame

 

More like a stupid title. Descriptive titles help when people are trying to Search the forums.
