My 5 year old 24000 Btu GE window air conditioner has started emitting a stale odor when running and but only when the compressor cycles off. The filter is clean and I've never noticed the smell before. There is no discernable smell when the condenser is running. The unit runs well and does a good job of cooling as it has in the past. I remove it from the window when the hot season is over and I didn't notice anything unusual when installing it this year. Any ideas as to how to eliminate the stale odor it's giving off ?
