Hi
I Have a problem. When I turn on my AC white smoke is coming out from vents. The AC is cooling down too much also...

What can be the problem?

Thanks for your help

Blower motor resistor or wires to it melting....I had an Avalanche catch on fire due to that. White smoke coming out of vent was what I saw before flames came out from under the dash.

I didn't smell anything either until it was too late...hopefully that isn't your problem and someone else can offer a solution.

Fog or smoke coming out the air vents is caused by cold dry air coming in contact with warmer, more moist air near the air conditioner. If the air temperature near the unit is below the dew point, this causes water vapor to form in the air and condense into water droplets, thus causing the fog or smoke...Solution is to turn up your A/C temp.

Maybe you are at a highly humid area, then there is a chance that it may be caused by water vapor from condensation.
