Easiest thing to check is the drain on the evaporator box inside the cab. It's where the moisture collects after the air is cooled and the moisture is pulled out of the air. It should be draining outside, but if the drain is plugged up, the pooling water can begin to mildew.

If everything seems to be working and draining ok,try turning the dial to "vent" a few minutes before you shut it off.I have heard this can help.
