How to Remove the Bad/Moldy Smell from the Air Condition

My air condition started to smell very bad for a minute every time I turn it on. Here is how to solve this issue.
Product I used:
www.walmart.com/ip/Lysol-Disi...

[@trkrla5113]

Yep! I also do the same. Turn off the a.c. several minutes before parking to allow for drying time of the entire system. Just a common sense approach I've done for years. No manual required.

[@carnews333]

What I recommend is to clean the evaporator through the condensation tube. I have a 2014.5 camry that suffered with ac smell. Furthermore, to maintain a clean ac make sure to turn off the ac and pay attention to recirculation is turn off. In my camry it has a memory when ac is off and recirculation is off , it will turn on recirculation on a hot south florida day when the ac is turned on.

haven't ran into this smell yet, thank god! Great video!

Thanks!

Next time you can try to apply on the air filter door since it is closer to the evaporator. ALso don't just turn off the AC before get home, but turn heat at fullblast

[@UnpredictableAri]

So the Lysol kills mold ?? I though you needed mold remover or vinegar to kill mold

[@isans0507]

5 minutes before u reach home? Do you mean the car needs to be running ac off for 5 minutes? Or is it the same as reaching home park my car turn off the ac and wait 5 minutes before turning the engine off. Does it need to be running with ac off for 5 mins?

one week later, yeah right! he has the same shirt on:) :)))

[@dannythewildcard1026]

lol. first one to notice ;)

[@timcheou5649]

I took the whole dashboard off cleaned the air vent tunnel with hot water in shower, cleaned all the plastic air pipes. Solved big job removing steering wheel etc. This way kills all the product out there.

[@carlosdelrio395]

why remove the cabin air filter during the process? should have cleaned the outside where the air comes in through first before removing filter

[@Vanessinha91Pucca]

If he didn't remove, it wouldn't reach the condencation radiator.Would be better though if he closed the filter door

[@adrienchan2097]

Nice job. What kind of cabin filter u use and do you know the part number?

[@dannythewildcard1026]

I buy from Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B00LM03YFA/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Lexus%7C75&Model=IS350%7C2836&Year=2016%7C2016&ie=UTF8&vehicleId=1&vehicleType=automotive

[@chokes1am]

Just want to know what's the update of this procedure.

[@dannythewildcard1026]

The smell still comes back from time to time. I do the same procedure to get rid of it.

[@isans0507]

When applying lysol, only the power is to be turned on right? Or do i really need to turn the engine on?

[@dannythewildcard1026]

power on is ok. as long as you can have the fan on.

[@BT415]

[@zxnuc]
