Problem with a bad smell in the air conditioning of the Toyota Yaris

Good evening to the community, I have a 2018 Toyota Yaris with 25,000 kilometers and a hybrid engine. I'm experiencing a problem with the air conditioning, as in the summer there is a strong bad smell, as if the interior has become moldy. I have changed filters and have visited two authorized workshops, but the problem persists. They suggested that I turn off the air conditioning 10 minutes before arriving at my destination to allow it to dry, but this is not always feasible. Even when I do, the bad smell continues. Has anyone experienced something similar and has a solution? Thank you in advance for your help.

A 2018 Toyota Yaris owner is experiencing a persistent bad smell from the air conditioning, resembling mold, despite changing filters and visiting workshops. The suggested solution of turning off the AC before reaching the destination to dry it out has not resolved the issue. A possible cause could be mold buildup on the AC evaporator coil, and it is recommended to use an AC cleaner spray or have a professional clean the evaporator thoroughly.

Check if the AC evaporator coil is clean, as mold can build up there. You can use an AC cleaner spray designed for this purpose. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully. If the smell persists, it might be worth having a professional inspect the evaporator and clean it thoroughly. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
