How Florida Humidity Affected Our Ocala Dishwasher Repair Experience

# Florida Humidity and Appliance Care: A Dishwasher Story from Ocala

While servicing a dishwasher in the Ocala service area, we learned firsthand how Central Florida's high humidity levels near the Ocala National Forest can cause unexpected appliance issues.

## The Issue
The homeowner noticed their dishwasher wasn't drying dishes properly and had a persistent musty smell. Located in Marion County, the dishwasher was a 2017 model with no prior repairs.

## Diagnosis
Our Clermont technicians found that excessive moisture had corroded the heating element and caused mold buildup inside the unit. This is common in humid climates like Central Florida, especially during the rainy season.

## Repair Process
- Replaced the heating element with an OEM part
- Thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the interior
- Inspected door seals for leaks and replaced worn gaskets

## Lesson Learned
Regular maintenance is crucial in the Greater Orlando Area, particularly in humid areas like Ocala and The Villages community. Checking seals and running cleaning cycles can prevent corrosion and mold growth.

## Final Thoughts
If you’re experiencing similar issues with your dishwasher or other appliances in Orange, Lake, or Marion counties, call local professionals who understand the unique challenges of Central Florida’s climate.
