About a month ago my AC really started to smell BAD. A very mechanical, acrid smell. I looked at the cabin air filter, it seemed fine. So I fbrezed it and that helped for a day. So I replaced it and that didn't help at all. After running the Ac for a while the smell eventually tappers off. But the next day it's right back. Any ideas on the cause and fix for this??
Thanks.

This is what I usually do......... When running A/C, I always turn off the "Recycle" air and uses outside fresh air, and always turn off the A/C but still let the fan running 1 mile before my destination. The fresh air will eliminate the moisture build-up around the condenser coil, the smell is coming from the moisture build-up around the condenser coil, and make sure the drain is not clogged.
