Thanks Doug,
Phew I am relieved to hear about the hissing being OK. I tis humid hear and
thus I tend to run the AC often enough even if it is not hot outside. I will
do the recycling tip you gave me.
I am a bit confused though about what you mean by
"running the AC with the AC button off."
I have the auto climate control thing and can run the AC in Manual mode is
that what you mean?
Thanks,

Yes, it's just running the AC with the compressor off, that helps to
dry out the coil.

Not unless it was overfilled...
