2013 SV Bad smell when using heater

[cpmetz]

Hi all,

I recently got a 2013 SV (heat pump..) and actually used the heater yesterday for the first time.
Unfortunately had to turn it off right away, because there seems to be a lot of mold in the warm air path.

Cold air blower/just AC is fine, no smells whatsoever. Drain tube is fine, not clogged.

I tried the Lysol way after removing the cabin air filter, spraying directly in that hole, as well as spraying with heater/fan on into the air intake.

According to the picture in this thread

I now should have a super clean AC evaporator.

Any idea how I effectively get to the inner condenser? There are some cleaners that you stick up the drain tube. Will that penetrate the inner condenser?

Cheers,
Philip.

if it was an unused heater there is a protective oil that has to be burned off. in other words open the windows and let it run! for a good while.
