A/C Compressor not running on defrost mode.

I've been having some periodic issues with window fogging(on my '07) as the weather has been cooling down. The other night, it got really bad - even with the car at operating temp, I had to open the windows to clear the fog. While trying to clear the windows, I noticed that my A/C compressor was not cycling on when I moved the heater control into the defrost position. After a bit of Googling, one possibility I came across was that my refrigerant might be low enough to trigger the low pressure switch to disable the compressor.

Has anyone else come across an issue like this? If I am low on refrigerant, could it have just dissipated over time or is a leak a sure thing?

I did just notice the other thread discussing the air recirculation flap so I'll look into it tonight when I get home, although I don't think it would explain the A/C compressor not coming on.

Thanks!

Happened to me last year, all I had to do was buy an A/C recharge kit and recharged the A/C. Blows ice cold in the summer and defrosts in seconds in the winter. The kits are around $60.00
