# Dryer Vent Clog in Winter Park: A Seasonal Lesson

In the humid climate of Central Florida, especially around the Winter Park area near the beautiful lakes, appliances face unique challenges. Recently, our technicians were called to a home in Winter Park where the dryer was taking unusually long to dry clothes.

## The Problem
- Dryer was overheating and shutting off mid-cycle
- Clothes remained damp after a full cycle
- Homeowner noticed a musty smell

## Diagnosis
Upon inspection, the technician found a severely clogged dryer vent filled with lint and debris, worsened by the Florida humidity. This blockage not only reduced efficiency but posed a fire risk.

## The Fix
- Thorough cleaning of the vent and ductwork
- Replaced a damaged vent hose
- Tested dryer operation post-cleaning

## Lesson Learned
Regular dryer vent cleaning is crucial in the Greater Orlando Area and surrounding regions like Seminole and Orange County to prevent hazards and maintain appliance efficiency. Seasonal checks, especially before the humid summer months, can save homeowners from costly repairs.

If you live in Winter Park, Sanford, or nearby and notice similar issues, call your local Clermont technicians to inspect your dryer vents.
