A method for operating a heat pump of a motor vehicle that includes a compressor, an expander, an ambient heat exchanger and a heating heat exchanger. In the method, a defrost mode for defrosting the ambient heat exchanger is initiated. In the defrost mode, a refrigerant is compressed to a high pressure by the compressor to transfer thermal energy to the ambient heat exchanger, the refrigerant is expanded to a low pressure by the expander, and the refrigerant absorbs thermal energy in the heating heat exchanger. Further, a defrosting process of the ambient heat exchanger triggered by the defrost mode is monitored. The monitoring of the defrosting process includes monitoring the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure and/or monitoring the pressure gradient of the pressure difference between the high pressure and the low pressure and/or monitoring the high pressure.
