Somewhat disappointed

Thanks, Woody.

Isn't it true that whenever the switch is in the defrost position, the A/C compressor is on? If so, then we might as well have cold air and be comfortable, right?

I could be wrong about that. Woody, or anyone else, is what I said above true or not?

Yes, the a/c is engaged and the a/c is on, even if its hot air. The cold coils remove all the humidity from the air.

Maybe with the defrost option set, the a/c does not stay engaged as often as if the a/c was turned on, on purpose? Thus it will be on less of the time, saving on gas?

I really can't say, don't know if anyone could answer that one correctly either.

If the lowest knob is on cold, and the middle knob is on defrost, and the top knob is off, NO AIR IS RUNNING.
If the lowest knob is on cold, and the middle knob is on defrost, and the top knob is 1 or higher, THE AIR IS RUNNING.
