How We Solved a Persistent Washer Leak in Ocala's Humid Climate

# Washer Leak Troubles in Ocala

Living in the Ocala service area means dealing with Florida's intense humidity, which can worsen appliance issues. Recently, our Clermont technicians responded to a call near the Ocala city center where a customer's washer was leaking repeatedly despite prior repairs.

## What We Found

- The culprit was a deteriorated door seal that hadn't been replaced properly.
- Excess humidity accelerated mold and seal wear.
- The initial fix missed a secondary hose clamp that was loose.

## How We Fixed It

1. Thorough inspection of all seals and hoses.
2. Replaced the faulty door seal with a high-quality, humidity-resistant part.
3. Tightened and replaced hose clamps.
4. Tested the washer near Lake Eola to simulate local conditions.

## Lesson Learned

In Central Florida and the Greater Orlando Area, appliance repairs must consider local climate factors. Quick fixes might not hold up against seasonal humidity, so a detailed check is crucial.

This experience reminds us to always look beyond the obvious, especially in the Winter Park area where moisture issues can sneak up on you.
