How do I know if my car A/C evaporator is bad?

What Are the Common Signs of a Bad Car A/C Evaporator?

• Weak or No Cold Air: A leaking or clogged evaporator can drastically reduce the cooling performance.
• Unusual Smells: Mold, mildew, or refrigerant leaks in the evaporator often cause musty or chemical odors inside the vehicle.
• Refrigerant Leaks Inside the Cabin: Visible oily residue or moisture under the dashboard can indicate an internal leak.
• Frequent Refrigerant Recharges: If your A/C keeps losing refrigerant with no obvious external leaks, the evaporator may be the source.
• Water Leaks or Damp Carpets: A clogged or damaged evaporator drain can lead to water pooling inside the car.
