How We Solved a Dryer Overheating Problem in the Winter Park Area

# Dryer Overheating in Winter Park: A Case Study

In the humid environment of the Winter Park area, dryers often face challenges like overheating caused by clogged vents. Recently, our technicians were called to a home near Lake Eola where the dryer was shutting off mid-cycle due to excessive heat.

## What We Found
- Heavy lint buildup in the vent hose
- Reduced airflow caused by moisture accumulation from Florida's humidity
- Safety sensor triggered to prevent fire hazard

## Steps Taken
1. Disconnected and thoroughly cleaned the vent and lint trap
2. Replaced a faulty thermal fuse
3. Tested the dryer through multiple cycles to ensure proper airflow and temperature

## Lesson Learned
Regular vent cleaning is critical in the Central Florida climate to prevent overheating and potential damage. Residents in the Greater Orlando Area, especially near humid spots like Winter Park and Sanford, should schedule annual maintenance.

## Why It Matters
Humidity accelerates lint moisture buildup, increasing fire risk and appliance wear. Preventive care saves money and keeps families safe.
