How a Dryer Fire Near Lake Eola Taught Us the Importance of Regul...

### The Incident
Last month, a family living near Lake Eola in Orlando experienced a dryer fire caused by lint buildup. The dryer, a 7-year-old model, overheated due to clogged vents worsened by Florida’s high humidity.

### What Went Wrong
- The lint trap was cleaned regularly, but the vent ducts hadn't been inspected or cleaned in years.
- Humidity in the Greater Orlando Area contributed to lint sticking inside the ducts, creating a fire hazard.

### The Response
Clermont technicians from SunFixes arrived quickly to assess the damage and clean the vents thoroughly. They also replaced a faulty thermostat that had been contributing to overheating.

### Lesson Learned
Regular maintenance, especially in humid regions like Orange and Lake Counties, is essential to prevent appliance hazards. This case shows how seasonal Florida weather impacts appliance safety and performance.

### Recommendations
- Schedule vent cleaning every 1-2 years.
- Have a professional inspect your dryer annually.
