Your car AC should run when you turn on the defroster in the winter. No need to turn it to AC and freeze.
Many car defrosters do not automatically turn on the AC. This must be invoked manually.
Only older cars. New models within about the past ten years turn on the compressor for defrosting.
Too many of the less expensive systems in cars of the last decade don't even allow the option of turning off the AC in defrost mode.
