There is a circuit breaker which controls those accesories. The breaker could be getting old, causing it to trip early. It will be a 30 amp, mounted in the fuse box. It will look similar to a fuse, but it will have a metal cap on top of it..

You may want to inspect/replace the defrost switch. I've had cases where the switch overheated and nearly caught fire.
