Mabahong A/C, what do you think is the problem?

[ghosthunter]

We have this 2008 Toyota Innova and whenever we turn on the aircon (naka park whether indoor or outdoor), may parang panis na amoy na lumalabas sa vents. Sabi daw ng mom ko dahil sa mga perfume na nakalagay sa car. Can this be true?? Thanks!

It's possible. Perfume is based on natural scent oils and these can stick to certain surfaces (including the ducting of the A/C vents). As these oils age or react with bacteria/fungus, they can start smelling bad.

You can have the A/C cleaned and maybe the vents as well. Sometimes the A/C evaporator gets dirty and have fungi growing on it or dirty water accumulates there too. Cleaning should help there too.
