The mist stopped after about 5 minutes. I turned it on abruptly in a room that is very hot and humid this morning. Wonder if I was seeing the cool air vaporize into the hot sticky air.

White mist sounds like there is a small leak and the refrigerant is vaporizing on contact with the air. If you just bought it you need to exchange it.

You were seeing the deadly freon gas emanate from your air conditioner. If I were you, I woudl get either a chest catscan or an x-ray to determine the extent of lung cancer you might have. I would run immediately out of the room when you see this mist becasue the fumes are toxic and can cause cancer. If you have started to see spots or have experienced breathing problems, then you should run to the emergency room immediately for treatment.

I had window A/C before. You might be right. My old window units would do the same thing if I started them up in a hot room on a humid day, I think they call that mist CLOUDS.

I don't know how high you might have it set on but if you're like the rest of us in this summer heat it is as high as it can go.When ours did this water mist blowing it usually froze up because we had the setting too high the saleman said. So we don't get it over a 4 these days and it works fine. Cools yet doesn't freeze up nor does it any longer blow water condensation like it used to. Hope this will help.

Its just a cloud.The room was too humid and the cold air is causing that humidity to condense.
