Mold inside my air conditioner-thanks for your help!

[Guest guest]

> I just wanted to thank you and everyone who has responded to my

question. The answers have been enormously helpful and I will attempt

to clean out the inside of the AC and see whether that will solve the

problem. I do think it may have been installed incorrectly (leaning

towards the wall) and is not draining properly.

I can relate to the cat urine smell-it's something I smell in the

basement from time to time and was always convinced it had something

to do with the mold problem (I do not have cats).

I don;t think a new filter will help me though-I am incredibly

sensitive to mold AND to new filters-especially the fancy ones-they

are sometimes more toxic to me than the mold itself.

I will try to drill extra holes in the bottom to drain it-good idea.

Again, thanks everyone. As always, this group is irreplaceable!

Happy 4th!!! Surella
