How Florida Humidity Impacted Our Appliance Repair in Orlando

# Florida Humidity and Your Appliances: A Lesson from Orlando

Living in Central Florida, especially in the Greater Orlando Area and nearby regions like Clermont and Winter Park, means dealing with high humidity levels year-round. Recently, we had a case where a Whirlpool refrigerator near Lake Eola started leaking water inside.

## What Happened?
- The fridge was about 7 years old.
- Symptoms: Excessive condensation and water pooling inside.
- Location: Orlando, near Lake Eola.

## Diagnosis
Our technician found that the high humidity caused the defrost drain to clog with algae buildup, a common issue in Florida homes due to moisture.

## Lesson Learned
- Regularly check and clean your appliance’s drainage systems.
- Seasonal maintenance is key in humid climates like Orange and Seminole Counties.
- Don’t ignore small leaks; they can lead to bigger problems.

## Why It Matters for Central Florida Residents
Florida’s humidity can accelerate wear and cause mold or mildew inside appliances, especially washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Our Ocala service area and The Villages community often report similar issues.

Stay proactive and keep your appliances in top shape by scheduling regular maintenance with trusted Clermont technicians.
