Last winter, a lot of mold grew inside my room air conditioner, even though the outside of it was covered for the winter. Evidently there was still enough warm room air seeping through to cause condensation when contacting the colder outside parts. Removing that mold took a lot of work.
Would covering both the outside and the front panel of the room A/C prevent mold growth? Or is there anything else I can do to prevent mold from growing inside my room A/C during the winter?
(No, removing the A/C unit for the winter is not an option: It's a through-the-wall unit that is inside a wall sleeve.)
