How Florida Humidity Affects Your Appliances in Orlando and Surro...

# Florida Humidity and Appliance Performance: A Winter Park Experience

Living in the Winter Park area means enjoying beautiful weather but also dealing with Florida's notorious humidity. Recently, a homeowner near Lake Eola contacted us because their dishwasher was malfunctioning frequently.

## The Problem

- Dishwasher was leaving spots and residue on dishes
- Appliance was older, around 8 years
- Noticed rust developing on metal parts inside

## What We Found

Our technicians discovered that the high humidity accelerated corrosion on the heating element and electrical contacts inside the dishwasher. This caused intermittent failures and reduced efficiency.

## Lesson Learned

- Appliances in Central Florida, including Orange, Lake, and Seminole counties, need regular inspections to prevent humidity-related damage.
- Preventive maintenance can extend the life of washers, dryers, and dishwashers.
- Using dehumidifiers or improving ventilation in laundry rooms and kitchens near The Villages community or Sanford can help.

## Takeaway

If you live in the Greater Orlando Area or the Ocala service area, keep in mind that Florida's climate can silently affect your appliances. Scheduling seasonal checkups with Clermont technicians or local experts can save you from costly repairs later.
