How Central Florida Humidity Affected Our Ocala Washer Repair Exp...

### Background
Living in the Ocala service area, we often forget how much Florida's high humidity impacts our appliances, especially washers and dryers. Recently, a client near the Ocala downtown area experienced repeated washer breakdowns.

### The Issue
The Whirlpool washer, 5 years old, was showing signs of excessive moisture buildup inside the drum and persistent mold smell despite regular cleaning. Our Clermont technicians found that the high humidity was affecting the door seal and electrical components.

### Repair Process
- Diagnosed a failing door gasket swollen from moisture
- Replaced the gasket with a humidity-resistant model
- Cleaned internal sensors and ventilation to prevent mold
- Tested the machine near Lake Eola to simulate local humidity conditions

### Lesson Learned
Florida’s seasonal humidity can accelerate wear on washers and dryers, especially in homes around the Winter Park area. Preventive maintenance is crucial to avoid costly repairs.

### Takeaway
If you live in Orange, Lake, or Marion County, regular checks on seals and ventilation can extend your appliance's life. Our experience in the Greater Orlando Area shows that understanding local climate effects is key to appliance longevity.
