If you have a clogged evaporator valve (or one stuck open), you could have either no cooling or a freezeup of the evaporator, either one will cause the problem you have.

Someone may have also shorted the pressure switch on the reciever/dryer so that the compressor runs with no freon in it -- this will eventually damage the compressor.

Your problem is strictly related to no cooling (and hence no de-humidifying) of the intake air.

I will check this. I know that the A/C is cycling when in Defrost mode, but it's been too cold to see if it's blowing cold air.

Thanks.
