Evaporator Core: Testing and Inspection

MOLD/MILDEW ODOR PROBLEM

Musty Smell:





Coolant Smell:





Refrigerant Oil Smell:





Under certain climate and operating conditions, a musty odor develops from mold growth in the evaporator core face. This odor is generally temporary. As climate conditions change the odor will disappear and repair automatically. If the odor persists, remove the evaporator core. Clean the evaporator core face with the appropriate cleaner.
