It's supposed to run when the defrost is on so it can remove moisture from the air. There should be a thermostat probe in the evaporator that is designed to prevent that. It may be faulty.

That doesn't mean anything. The Compressor runs with defrost to remove moisture and it's located before the heater core so it never see heat.
