Freon mixed with refrigerate oil will have a slight smell.................
Freon is odorless; you cannot smell it.
Build up of dead bugs in water on outside of unit.
It is likely germs and fungus in the air conditioner. You can use a spray product to clean it. If the evaporator is leaking you will get a very bad order. You will also start loosing your freon, then no a/c.
The rubbing alcohol smell can indicate a Freon leak. The smell can also indicate a plugged drain tube. There is natural condensation that needs to drain away from the air conditioning compressor.
Freon is odorless, but it is possible to smell the refrigerant oil that could also be leaking.
An air conditioner should not smell like smoke when turned on (or when turned off). I would have to suspect that the electrical insulation is burning.
There is no smell, unless somebody has used something like 22a freon which is actually propane and may have a sulphur smell
R134a Freon is an oxymoron, Freon is R12 but the answer is yes, a subtle 'sweetish' odor
humus

my car a/c smells like freon? Type your answer here...
No, freon does not smell like ammonia. Freon, a type of refrigerant, typically has a faint, sweet odor. Ammonia, on the other hand, has a strong, pungent odor often associated with cleaning products.
