Original poster said, "Found that the fan runs all the time when the heater is set to defrost."

I said that it will run if the heater is set on defrost if the outside temperature is above a given threshold... ie 42 or so degrees. In this case the outside temp does make a difference. Maybe I should have said "outside" temp..
