What We Learned from a Washer Breakdown in the Greater Orlando Area

# Washer Repair in Central Florida: A Lesson Learned

Last month, our Clermont technicians responded to a call from a homeowner near Lake Eola in Orlando whose washer suddenly stopped draining. The humid Florida climate had contributed to a buildup of residue in the drainage system, a common issue in the Greater Orlando Area.

## What Happened?

- The washer was a 2018 model Samsung, used heavily by a family with three kids.
- Symptoms: water stayed in the drum after cycles, and a faint burning smell was noticed.
- Our technician, Luis, arrived within 90 minutes, inspected the pump and drainage hose.

## The Diagnosis

- The drainage pump was clogged and partially burned out due to overworking.
- Luis explained the problem and offered options: clean the pump or replace it.
- The homeowner opted for replacement, which took two days to get the part delivered to our Ocala service area.

## Lesson Learned

- Florida humidity accelerates residue buildup in washers.
- Regular maintenance can prevent such breakdowns.
- Having a trusted local repair service in Orange and Lake Counties is crucial for quick response.
