    Mold and Mildew in room air-conditioner
    Hello all,

    When I turn on my window AC unit (was stored in an attic for two years) it stinks of mildew and mold. I power washed the inside of it and also sprayed a weak bleach solution on the coils and wherever else I could reach. The smell is still present. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    RSM

    You can go to appliance parts house and get a coil cleaner to spray on coils. Just spray on with unit off and wait 15 min. and start unit up the condensate water will rinse it away and has a clean smell about it. Don't know if Lowes/Home Depot has it or not. Good Luck
