Re: My drill stopped working and emits an odor... did it...
If it was new a couple of days ago I would take it back where I bought it. I bought a power saw and used it once and smoke came out the motor. I took it back and they gave me a replacement.

I would not say they are not defected, but I think they are not getting fully charged. I have the same problem with my battery once I have used it all day and the red light comes on from the fuel gauge. I have the P104 battery. I would return your charger and try to charge them on the new one first. If you have the same trouble, then return the batteries for new ones.
the tool with the brake will throw some sparks when it creates the short to stop rotation, but the SMOKE is an indication of a burnt motor and yes you should be concerned. Do you smell a burning odor when running if so the motor will soon fail.
To figure out what is wrong with it, it will have to be removed from the wall, Then the top cover will have to be removed, then you can look for any swelled capacitors, burn marks on the circuit board or any shorted wires. The power supply is most likely faulty . You can test the power with a voltmeter from power supply to main circuit board.
There is water(condensation) that has built up in the unit and is stinking due to the water is growing mildew. Is the air conditioner condensation line plugged? If this is a window unit also make sure that it is level or not all the water will drain out and cause this odor. The odor should diminish after the water has completely dried out.
I had that problem 2 years ago but I don't remember the odor. The solder connections came loose on the red tube's small pc board. The wifes make-up mirror came in handy to resolder the loose wires.
The odor is trace amounts of ozone. I hate the smell myself, some people love it. Most common cause is a short in the cells. Can you hear any arcing noises?
Did you clean it recently. The ozone can be reduced by making a change in the power head. What is the model number and date code........Should be like, F300Aor E1625, The date code is a four digit numbe like.....0904. Both can be found on the back of the aircleaner door.
