Bad smell from air conditioner

positive
By positive

There is a bad smell coming from the A/C in the  living room.  Smells like humidity.  I tried everything possible from changing filters to cleaning the ceiling, etc.  There is no humidity anywhere.  We even look at the drainage in the kitchen, etc. Several technicians have come to fix it with no avail.

 

 I need help...please.

The problem was solved long time ago, but I didn't thank my QL'ers for your help.

They changed the A/C. Everything is undercontrol.

Thank you for your answers. You guys/girls are awesome!!!

In a bid to saving your old a/c you may very well end up spending more money(possibly) and way too much time and energy too. Best get rid of the issue asap.

Technicians these days do an 'eye washing' job. It smelled like kerosene to me when an odour came for few days. Dissappeared after few days.

QS, Some months back, in winter, a dove had laid eggs in the AC casing and the stench was horrible..I was in a fix, whether to scare away the bird or just bare the smell till the chicks fly away.

your compressor might be out. if you really have shown it to an experienced AC technician, they will be able to spot check and figure out the problem immediately. what your A/C is giving out is basically might dry air, with the smell of the compressor and grease coming out of it...

Tell me, how does 'humidity' smell??

maybe there's something dead on the outer cover of the AC.

I would be happier if the smell was coming from me..ha...ha..ha.  No, the smell is only when the A/C is on.
