glad it worked out for you!  Yes evaporator coils are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and mold b/c inherently they're always wet when you're using them and all the dirt and dust from the incoming air (regardless of recirc or not is coating the coils such that nasty things start growing on them.  You're right in that you'll probably need to redo it every year but at least it's a fairly easy fix.  Keeping a coil "sterile" is next to impossible and all you can do is eliminate or reduce one of the two primary components needed to make mold.  By running the fan on high 5 minutes prior to arriving at your destination you'll remove lots of water that would otherwise "fester" in the coil.

+piercedasian Finally got around to performing this service.....worked like a charm!  I only had the smell when I first turned on the a/c and immediately after I turned it off.  Now, I don't smell it at all.  I will never use the "recirculation" feature and I will continue to turn off the a/c and let the blower run in an effort to dry the evap coil prior to parking the car.  I have done a lot of research on this issue, and apparently these two are the main culprits in causing the smell.  I may need to perform this service once a year, but this is not a big deal to me.....I perform most of my own maintenance.Thanks again!

you're welcome!

+piercedasian Thank you!

+Flyinblyian Let me answer your questions in the order you asked them:Before you begin remember to save some cleaning foam for the very end (technically 1 can is enough to do at least 2 cars).1. yes 2. temperature should be full cold and preferably on a/c mode.3. doesn't matter4. set it to fresh and let the fan run on high and inject more foam in while the fan is on high to let the fan help the foam get "pushed" deeper into the coils.5. Run the fan on high for about 10 minutes with all windows open to get the foam/smell out.Hope that helps!

+Patrick Maloney Patrick yes the instructions do state to run the fan to draw the product deeper into the coils and I've had success by not doing that but admittedly I've also put the fan on high to suck it deeper and it also worked. The issue with a/c coils is that they're certain to grow mold of some sort on them the moment they're wet, dusty and in a dark place. A/C coils are ideal breeding grounds for it and even though FrigiClean would've killed off the spores that if you're in an environment where a/c is used a lot that it will be a 100% given the stink will come back. Frigi clean from coils I've ripped apart does do a reasonable job of cleaning the coil but it is far from being foolproof or guaranteed. You can try running the fan on high with a 2nd treatment but I suspect you'll probably run into the stink again at some point. Fortunately since I'm up in a very dry area of Canada that I alleviate my a/c stench by shutting off the a/c compressor about 5 minutes before my destination and that allows the fan to run and dry my coil off before I park my car. From when this video was first created until today my a/c still doesn't stink so I guess I'm doing something right!

yep flea bay would be a good place to get it.

+dm m Your local dealership (if they have it and if they're kind to you) can sell you the product. If all else fails look online and ebay to obtain some.

+Honda Owner here's a tip, remove the filter and replace the evaporator cover prior to injecting the cleaning foam :) Replace filter element after 2 hours post cleaning and you'll be good to go.

+Jose Vazquez same principal as the Odyssey. Go under the truck and locate the condensate drain hole (you can usually find it where the refrigerant lines run through the firewall to the evaporator core (also typically on the far right side of the dash). Follow the exact procedure and it should work just fine for you.
