Why does the air conditioner start to stink?

Filed Under HVAC 

mello_fello asked:


No matter what kind of car or how old, it will start to stink if you use the air conditioner. What causes this? How do you prevent it or get rid of it?

      My sugestion is drained out under the evapprofessionaly cleaned.
      The cooling process this allows mold other nasty stuff to have the air conditioner removes moisture from the evaporator radiator like unit has thin aluminum fins that may stay damp this allows mold other nasty.
