How Florida Humidity Affected a Refrigerator in Orlando Near Lake...

# Appliance Challenges in Central Florida's Humid Climate

Living in Orlando, especially near Lake Eola, means dealing with high humidity levels year-round. Recently, one of our clients in the Greater Orlando Area faced a frustrating issue with their refrigerator.

## The Situation
- Appliance: Whirlpool refrigerator, 2018 model
- Location: Orlando, near Lake Eola
- Issue: Excessive condensation inside the fridge causing water pooling and food spoilage

## What We Found
Our Clermont technicians discovered that the fridge door gasket had worn down, allowing moist air from the Florida humidity to seep in. Additionally, the defrost drain was clogged, a common problem in the Orlando and surrounding Orange County areas due to frequent use and moisture buildup.

## Steps Taken
1. Replaced the door gasket with a new seal designed for humid environments.
2. Cleared and flushed the defrost drain to prevent water backup.
3. Tested the fridge to ensure proper temperature and humidity control.

## Lesson Learned
Maintaining seals and regularly checking drainage systems are crucial in the Central Florida climate. Seasonal humidity can accelerate wear and cause issues that might not appear in drier regions.

## Why This Matters for Central Florida Residents
If you live in Orlando, Clermont, or the Winter Park area, it's important to keep an eye on your appliances, especially during the rainy season when humidity spikes. Preventive maintenance can save you from costly repairs later.
