Difference between Fault & Defect.
Fault:-

imperfect;blemish;flaw.
Defect:-
Defect means imperfection; shortcoming; something lacking in completeness or perfection. While in fault there is an element of blame,the word defect has no such implication directly.
Example of Defect:

Examples of fault:
She loves me inspite of all my faults.
Her only fault is excessive shyness.

To find fault with means to complain about:
I have no fault to find with your work.
To a fault means excessively: she is generous to a fault.
At fault means in the wrong, at a loss; in a puzzled state:
My memory was at fault.
Fault (in singular form only)means also responsibility for being wrong:
Whose fault is that we are late?
It is your own fault.
The fault lies with you, not with me,you are to blame.
