Causes and Solutions for Odors in Car Air Conditioning Systems
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why air conditioning systems may produce odors: 1. Prolonged use of the air conditioner can lead to the accumulation of dust on the indoor filter and inside the copper coils. When a certain amount of dust builds up, it can generate an odor, which is then dispersed into the air when the air conditioner is turned on. 2. After cooling or heating, the indoor unit of the air conditioner often retains moisture. If the air conditioner is turned off immediately without a drying or anti-mold function, the moisture remains inside, leading to the growth of mold over time, which produces a musty smell. Here are some methods to eliminate odors: 1. If the air conditioner has been used for a short period and only has dust on the panel and vents, simply wipe it down and remove the filter for rinsing with clean water. 2. If the air conditioner has been used for a long time and the user cannot perform a simple cleaning, it is necessary to contact after-sales service for a thorough cleaning to ensure the air conditioner emits healthier and fresher air.
