What Causes a Car Air Conditioner to Smell Bad?
1 Answers
The reason a car air conditioner smells bad is that a large amount of dust, insects, leaves, and other impurities accumulate in the filter's layers over time, leading to decay and mold growth, which produces foul odors. When fresh air enters the system, these odors are blown into the air vents and inhaled by passengers. Solutions for eliminating air conditioner odors: 1. Choose an open, sunny area, open the car doors, and turn on the external circulation at maximum (without activating the A/C). Alternatively, you can use the heater for 5-6 minutes to blow out the odors. 2. Get a professional A/C cleaning service. During cleaning, turn on the A/C and spray a specialized A/C cleaner into the blower area.
