### Understanding Florida's Humidity Impact on Appliances

Living in Central Florida, including cities like Orlando, Clermont, and Ocala, means dealing with high humidity year-round. This moisture in the air can cause unexpected problems for household appliances such as refrigerators, washers, and dryers.

#### Common Issues in the Greater Orlando Area
- **Refrigerators near Lake Eola** often experience condensation buildup leading to mold and gasket damage.
- **Dryers in the Winter Park area** can have clogged vents faster due to moisture mixing with lint.
- **Dishwashers in The Villages community** may develop corrosion on metal parts quicker than in drier climates.

#### Lessons Learned
SunFixes technicians in Orange, Lake, Marion, and Seminole counties have noticed that regular maintenance focusing on moisture-related wear can extend appliance life. For example, cleaning dryer vents every 3 months and inspecting refrigerator seals during seasonal changes helps avoid costly repairs.

### Tips for Central Florida Homeowners
- Use dehumidifiers in laundry rooms and kitchens.
- Schedule preventive maintenance with Clermont technicians who understand local climate challenges.
- Be vigilant for signs like unusual odors, excess water pooling, or inconsistent appliance performance.

By addressing these humidity-related issues early in Orlando and surrounding areas, you can keep your appliances reliable despite Florida’s challenging environment.
