Air Conditioner Foul Smell From Vents
A Air Conditioner with the "Foul Smell From Vents" fault usually shows it through a musty or sour smell when the AC starts, the smell fades after a few minutes of running, and a smell that is stronger right after switching on. This is typically traced back to mould or bacteria growth on the indoor coil, a dirty filter trapping moisture, and stagnant water in the drain tray. A technician resolves it by cleaning the indoor coil, filters, and drain tray to remove the mould source.
