Window AC spits out black flakes

I have an 8 thousand btu window unit that spits out black flakes of soot. Do I need a new unit or what? Thanks, mo


That is dust coming from the blower wheel due to the unit not being cleaned properly. Clean the evaporator coil and blower wheel, replace or clean the air filter and front grill.
