Dryer Fire Risk: A Lesson Learned from Appliance Repair in Orlando

# Dryer Fire Risk: A Lesson from Orlando Appliance Repair

In the humid climate of Central Florida, especially in the Greater Orlando Area and nearby Sanford, appliances like dryers face unique challenges. Recently, our Clermont technicians responded to a call near Lake Eola where a homeowner’s dryer was overheating.

## The Situation
- The dryer was a 7-year-old model, frequently used by a family of five.
- It had started making unusual noises and shutting off mid-cycle.
- Our technician found excessive lint buildup in the vent system, a known fire risk exacerbated by Florida’s seasonal humidity.

## What We Did
1. Thoroughly cleaned the lint trap and vent ducts.
2. Replaced a worn belt that was causing the noise.
3. Educated the homeowner about regular maintenance, especially during the humid months in Orange County.

## Lesson Learned
Regular dryer maintenance is critical in the Winter Park area and throughout Marion County to prevent fire hazards and prolong appliance life. Ignoring lint buildup can lead to dangerous situations, especially in Florida’s moist environment.

If you live in Sanford, Ocala service area, or The Villages community, scheduling routine appliance check-ups can save you from costly repairs or worse.
