    Any tips on preventing mold in window AC units?

    Last year our bedroom AC unit developed a ton of mold, to the point it was caked on when took the face cover off. Our living room AC unit wasn’t bad, but had some growth. Obnoxiously heavy and large for the BTUs but it was also atleast 15years old.

    we put them to the curb and bought some new ones from Ollies the other week since it got in the low 80s.

    how do you guys prevent mold build up? Seems like the bedroom stays humid more than other rooms

    My LG window unit has a dry mode which reduces humidity. May also just run the fan only once in a while to dry it out. Helps but doesn't prevent it.
