AC blowing white, non-odorous smoke/vapor

95 Honda Accord.
The AC started blowing white smoke or vapor into the cabin. No strong odor, but perhaps faintly suggestive of coolant. Ambient temp 86F, humidity 12%. In the past weeks temp has been 90 - 100.

No smoke with AC off, blower on.

I’ll be checking/clearing the evaporator drain. What are the other possibilities?

when I was Toyota-the avalons (2010+?) has an issue with the evap core doing the same thing-it turned out that the core was desinagrating, blowing a white smoke into the passenger compartment.

The odorless, white steam or smoke coming out of your air conditioner is probably excess water stored in the heater box . Commonly, it is a sign of a restricted drain hole that needs cleaning. The steam or vapor collected during the process of condensation could have made its way out when the air hit it.

Thanks for the replies. The incident has not happened again and I have not checked the drain tube yet . . will eventually, maybe tomorrow when I’m checking a new problem with the coolant system. But that’ll be in another post.
