How Florida Humidity Affected My Washer in the Ocala Service Area

# Dealing with Washer Issues in Ocala's Humid Climate

Living in the Ocala service area, part of Central Florida's Marion County, means we face high humidity levels year-round. This moisture can cause unexpected problems with household appliances, especially washers.

## The Situation

A homeowner near downtown Ocala noticed their 2018 LG washer started smelling musty and wasn't spinning properly. The problem got worse during the rainy season when humidity spikes.

## What We Found

Our Clermont technicians inspected the washer and found mold buildup inside the drum and a faulty drain pump exacerbated by moisture. Florida's humidity often accelerates mold growth and causes electrical parts to corrode faster.

## The Repair

We replaced the drain pump and thoroughly cleaned the drum with specialized solutions safe for LG washers. The homeowner was advised to leave the washer door open after use to reduce moisture buildup.

## Lesson Learned

High humidity in Central Florida and the Greater Orlando Area can silently damage appliances like washers. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs by local experts serving Ocala and surrounding areas can extend appliance life.

Remember, if you're near Lake Eola or in The Villages community, local climate impacts your appliances too.
