I have a brand new Frigidaire Air Conditioner, about 25 inches wide (have no clue about BTU's or anything) When i turn on the A/C each evening it blows out a bunch of white powder that is similar to powdered detergent for washing clothes. After about 10 seconds it stops. I thought because the A/C was new it would run it's course but so far if the A/C has been off for a good portion of the day while i'm at work, as soon as I get home and turn it on, it's like i'm in a Colombian cocaine factory. Any thoughts?
