MAINTENANCE AND CARE TIPS

Air Conditioning Odor

Question
What causes air conditioner odor? How can I prevent the odor from occurring?

Answer
During air conditioner operation, cold refrigerant is pumped through the evaporator core by an engine-driven compressor. A fan then blows air through “fins” in the evaporator to cool the air. These fins also act as an air filter, trapping bacteria, spores, and dirt. These airborne particles are normally washed out a drain hole with condensation, but if they remain on a moist evaporator, they may collect and cause an unpleasant odor. This effect is more frequently found in humid climates where more condensate accumulates.
To prevent the odor, we recommend the following:


Avoid parking under trees to reduce the possibility of leaves entering the air intake

Use the fresh air setting on your climate control rather than the recirculated air setting whenever possible to allow the evaporator to dry out

Drive on paved roads whenever feasible as dusty conditions may accelerate the condition

If the condition already exists, spraying a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water (1 to 5 ratio/mixture) or a disinfectant in the outside air intake may help reduce the smell. If these steps do not alleviate the odor, we encourage you to contact your local dealership for a thorough evaluation of the condition.
