My GE window AC unit is actually blowing mist out of it instead of removing water from the air. I understand I cannot drill my own weep hole , but I can't have mist blowing all over my furniture. How can I fix this? The tech that came out was no help. He did not drain the water that was in there and now it stinks. Thanks for any suggestions. These are the water drops on my vents!!!

The cold evaporator will collect condensed moisture and the condensation normaly drains out the condensation drain path.
As the evaporator fins sweat, dust and particles get stuck to the moisture and fins. Dirty evaporator fins hold more moisture than clean fins. As air rushes thru the fins, moisture is blown off.
It is important to maintain clean air filters, and to treat the evaporator with evaporator cleaner as needed. The outdoor condenser also needs free air flow, periodic cleaning.
It is normal for alga to form and clog condensation pans and drains, periodic cleaning is part of their maintenance too.
There are dedicated chemicals for the maintenance of severely contaminated situations, use as directed. I prefer flushing out clean with a garden hose, persistent alga needs chemicals in cake form or spray, use as prescribed by the product.
