# Florida Humidity and Appliance Challenges in Orlando

Living in the Greater Orlando Area means dealing with high humidity levels, especially during the summer months. This case study explores how humidity affected a homeowner's refrigerator and washing machine in Orlando, near Lake Eola.

## The Situation
- The homeowner noticed persistent rust spots inside their Samsung refrigerator (2018 model) and frequent washer cycle interruptions on their Whirlpool washer.
- Both appliances showed signs of moisture buildup and corrosion after the rainy season.

## What We Did
- Our Clermont technicians inspected the appliances and found that Florida's humidity had caused condensation in sensitive electrical components.
- We replaced corroded wiring in the washer and resealed the fridge door gasket to prevent moisture intrusion.
- Advised the homeowner on ventilation improvements in their kitchen and laundry area.

## Lesson Learned
Humidity in Central Florida, especially in Orange and Lake Counties, can accelerate wear on household appliances. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs by qualified Ocala service area professionals can extend appliance life.
