  1. Turn it off.


  2. Either the motor or the fan is stuck.  Turn it off or it will burn up the motor.

  3. TURN IT OFF.

    UNPLUG IT.

    If it is still smoking, it needs to be pulled out of the home.

    The unit may have suffered a coolant leak... in which case you need to ventilate the home.  If the smoke residue has an oily feel to it, thats probably what happened.

    If it has a 'burning' smell, it could be an electrical short, and fire... DONT use water to try to put it out.

    Good Luck
