Musty AC smell

The problem is particularly bad in that generation of Camry. Later ones have fungicide epoxy coated on the evaporator.

But if the spray didn't work then it may be your cam/crank seal and/or water pump leaking. Do you have this smell when you open the door first thing in the morning? I did and I've managed to rid what I thought was the foul smell after replacing the said parts in a timing belt job, realizing afterward it's either the oem seals or the Aisin pump. Needless to say, I've always liked Fel-pro seals and NAPA Airtex pumps.

Mold or fungus can be easily killed with spraying household bleach , but you need to find where it is growing such as on the Ac coil, Air fresheners just hide smells. A partialy clogged condensate drain will hold water making mold grow faster.

Once read someone had success with eliminating odor from mold or fungus growth in the ductwork by running the heater controls at full heat for

8-10 minutes.

Thanks for your input.
