We have two A/C units in our Montana Fifth wheel. The one in the bedroom was just installed last fall. First in the bedroom and now in the living room, when the A/C kicks on I smell what smells like stagnant water. Of course Hubby smells nothing. But then again he never hears any strange sound I hear either. (or hears what I just said).
To get back to my original issue, has anyone else ever noticed such a stench and what to do about it.
Thanks! Phyllis

Check your rooftop drain & clean it out........remove inside filter turn fan on high and spray Lysol disinfectant up into the unit as it is running to knock down any mold build -up that has accumulated ....Note:A/C should be serviced every season ,Blower motor needs to be lubricated..condenser needs to be washed.....evaporator needs to be washed and filter needs to be replaced

Thanks Mike. I will have him do all those things even though he does not smell it. But I sure do.

Phyllis,If you smell it it is there.I learned early on in my Gas Company career that if a woman said she smelled gas there was a leak no matter how small.Women just seem to have a better sense of smell that men.Of course this is just a real world observation and has no scientific proof what so ever.
