Default My windows have started fogging up when the heater is on...
This has only started happening in the last month. It seems I read once (here) that the heater is supposed to dehumidify the air. It doesn't seem to be doing it. Anyone else have this problem?

Make sure you don't have the "econ" button on.. that's the "dehumidifier"

I thought econ turned off the compressor which would not increase humidity rather than de-humidify?

Default correct the ECON will keep the compressor going just in case!!
even with the heat on, you could lose power without econ on!

Default When Econ is lit, the AC compressor is off...
It is the AC that de-humidifies the air, so if the light if off, that compressor is running, warm air or not.
