A heat pump is provided with a reversible fan motor in its outdoor coil and, after a delay period following initiation of the defrost cycle, the fan is caused to operate in a reverse direction to thereby cause the surrounding air to flow through the outdoor coil in a direction opposite to that in which it flows during the heating mode operation. During this time, the fan is operated at a relative slow speed to thereby prevent the convective flow of heat upwardly, while at the same time causing little, if any, flow of ambient air downwardly into the coil.
