If this is the condenser that is frozen, you have a problem with the defrost cycle. There are 2 things that need to be checked, the defrost sensor and the defrost control board. More than likely it is the defrost control board that is the problem and of course that is the more costly of the 2.
It is probably a bad ground most intermittent problems with electric components are
The default for heaters is to go to defrost if there is a problem in the system. You will have to get under the dash to find the problem. Probably best to take it in as they can get tricky without diagrams depending on the system
If defrost is on it could be your compressor going bad. See what happens when you leave off defrost or disconnect your compressor. It only controls defrost and air conditioning. I had the same problem
no defrost on left side of car and antifreeze draining on right side of car. What is the problem
if the radio is not working in a 2007 Pontiac g6 sdn what is the problem
I had an intermittent problem like this with an 2004 Optima EX V6. I changed out the fuel pump and it seems to have corrected the problem, but being intermittent, only time will tell.
When there is a problem with the vent system it dfaults to the defrost setting. Sounds like you have a problem in the doors that direct the air flow.
Type your answer here... no problem
An intermittent is a type of problem with electronics equipment that doesn't occur all the time. Intermittent failures are among the toughest to troubleshoot. In this case, the failure is caused by overheating or other thermal changes. Sometimes you can guess at the cause, such as replacing the heat sink and/or fan, or at least applying new thermal paste. Other times, it would help to have coolant spray and see if that provokes the problem. If there is a crack in a circuit board and the temperature changes and causes it to conduct or separate, then replacing the board might be the only feasible option.

Usually relays will be intermittent, they are normally open or normally closed, when they wear out they sometimes cause intermittent issues such a fluke problems with fuel pumps the easy was to test is to find similar one in your fuse box and swap with a know good one if this fixes your problem then most likely your will need to replace, problems usually happen when relays get warm.
