My air condo has a somewhat moldy smell. From reading around the net it sounds like I could have some junk in the evaporator that's causing this.
I've read where people yank the blower moter and can see a little of the evaporator coil, however from Google'ing pics of evaporators online, you can see that often part is normal looking, the other part is disgusting. So the small portion - at least in the pics I've seen on the net of our blowers removed looking at the coil - of the evaporator that is viewable with the blower removed is not really enough to make a determination if the rest of the evaporator is dirty...unless of course one looks, and what one can see is filthy.
I'm going to remove the blower and start there, that seems pretty non-invasive and something with my skills (or lack thereof) can do, what I'm wondering is:
Is there a way, without breaking into the actual air condo lines, to remove at least one side of the evaporator box so it can be inspected to see how crudded up it is?
Thanks in advance for any knowledge on this!
