Lessons Learned from a Dryer Repair in Orlando's Humid Climate

# Dryer Repair Insights from Orlando's Humid Climate

## Background
Recently, our technicians in Orlando were called to a home near Lake Eola where the dryer was taking excessively long to dry clothes. The homeowner, living in the Greater Orlando Area, noticed this issue worsening during the humid Florida summer.

## Diagnosis and Findings
- The dryer vent was partially clogged with lint and moisture buildup, exacerbated by the Florida humidity.
- The moisture sensor was malfunctioning, causing improper drying cycles.

## Repair Steps
1. Cleaned out the vent thoroughly to improve airflow.
2. Replaced the faulty moisture sensor with an OEM part.
3. Tested the dryer in the humid conditions typical of Central Florida.

## Lesson Learned
Humidity in Central Florida, especially in Orange County and surrounding areas like Winter Park and Sanford, can cause buildup in dryer vents and sensors that impacts performance. Regular maintenance and timely professional inspections by Clermont technicians or in the Ocala service area can prevent these issues.

## Takeaway
Homeowners in the Greater Orlando Area should consider seasonal dryer maintenance to avoid costly repairs, particularly during Florida's humid months.
