A/C VentOdor 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Lucy on  Wed Nov 14 09:06 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have a very foul odor (like dirty socks/dog ____) coming from the A/C vents even when set to off.

I pretty much know I need an evaporator, but is there a way to get rid of the odor before I bite the bullet. I've kept recharging. I've used sealers but the the time between has gotten too short. Is the smell from the pollen filter? If so, will replacing that take care of the odor?

    lucy, with the fan on full (not on recycle) give the air intake vents in front of the windshield under the hood a good dose of lysol (you pick the fragrance). that should take care of the mildew and god knows what else is growing in the air ducts.

    regards
