How Florida Humidity Led to a Refrigerator Breakdown in Orlando

# Florida Humidity and Refrigerator Failures in Orlando

Living in the Greater Orlando Area, including Orange County and nearby cities like Winter Park and Sanford, means dealing with high humidity almost year-round. Recently, one of our clients near Lake Eola experienced a refrigerator failure due to moisture buildup affecting the compressor.

## What Happened?
- The fridge started making loud noises and stopped cooling properly.
- The technician found corrosion on vital electrical contacts caused by excess moisture.
- After replacing the compressor relay and cleaning the contacts, the fridge was restored.

## Lessons Learned
- Florida’s humidity can accelerate appliance wear, especially in older models.
- Regular maintenance and preventive checks by Clermont technicians can catch issues early.
- Using dehumidifiers or keeping appliances away from damp areas in homes in Marion County and Seminole County helps.

## Takeaway for Central Florida Residents
If you live in the Ocala service area or The Villages community, be mindful of how the climate impacts your appliances. Early intervention by professionals serving Sanford and Winter Park areas can save you costly repairs later.
