The mildew smell is caused by just that... mildew that grows as a result of condensation in the ducts. This occurs after the air conditioner is turned off. The humidity in the warmer abient air condenses and sits in the ducts with dust and dirt particles that collect there and quickly grows mildew

Dark A/C ducts with warming condensed moisture in them are perfect breeding grounds for mildew.
