does anyone have their a/c smell like mold when their turn in on ?
well i do!!
i live in houston where it is pretty humid but still.

 

I sometimes have that problem as well, i live in South Carolina where its 86% humidity year round and durring the summer its like 90-95%. Its done that to me in most of my cars.

 

Lysol helps...spray in before and after using the A/C...also, parking your vehicle inside will make a difference......

 

it's the air/water separator- basically a "sock" that collects the water- when it's really humid they don't dry out btn uses and get that musty smell- we have the same problem in our aircraft- i'm sure gump can tell you all about it and give you the maintainer's point of view.

 

Barney, you're not on a person-to-person basis w/your ground crew??

Just joking, dude, you guy's rock!!!!!

Keep 'em Flying!!!!

You all are an example for the Armed Forces of the World......ten times over.....

 

hey!!

what about me?

LOL

 

yeah, i try to learn as much as i can from those guys, but they just know a shyte-load more about my airplane than i do. gump's on c-5's, so he has even more airplane to know about![sm=smiley5.gif]

 

do oa-10's even have ac? or are you a herc guy (i know their ac doesn't work for sh**). not that you need it up in bf alaska (i LOVE fairbanks, btw, but i'm not a big fan of eielson afb).

 

The reason you are getting the moldy smell is because you are not using your A/C properly. Before you shut the car off when using the A/C you are supose to turn the A/C off and then turn the fan on for a minute or two to clear out the moisture. That moisture is what is causing the moldy smell. For more info on this [sm=icon_rtfm.gif][sm=exactly.gif]. Finally, I got to use that smiley.[sm=smiley4.gif]
