### The Challenge of Florida Humidity on Appliances

Living in Central Florida, especially in cities like Orlando, Clermont, and Ocala, means dealing with high humidity levels for much of the year. This moisture in the air can cause unexpected issues in household appliances such as refrigerators, washers, and dryers.
