So, if I'm lucky, I just need to replace the expansion valve and recharge the system. While I'm doing that I will also replace the receiver / dryer because its easily accessible and inexpensive.

BTW: I used BG's Frigi Fresh on the system today and it seemed to work as advertised. The bacteria / mold smell is gone. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way.

Thanks to one an all for the advice

Greate news. The valve is probably the cheapest part in the system ( except the dryer)
