The first answer is correct and heres where the leak most likely is. Under the hood, against the back firewall close to the middle, you'll see a vacuum tree. Several hoses plug in here. Both the Tempo and Topaz I've had this happen to, occured here. Look for a unplugged hose or a cracked or dry-rotted hose and replace as needed.

Defrost is the AC/heat system's default position. Likely you have lost vacuum to the control head. When there is no vacuum to control the functions then it will default to the defrost vents.
