Evaporative (swamp) cooler maintentance

Take a look at this link for maintenance tips on your cooler. The pads will need to be replaced and the unit cleaned out, with particular attention to the water reservoir and any demister sections. Chemicals can be added to retard biological growths and eliminate odors. These links also show you are not alone with this problem.

I include this link because it has a good illustratio of how your cooler works and the general location of parts:
