How a Washer Overload Issue in Ocala Taught Us About Florida Humi...

### Washer Overload and Florida Humidity: A Case from Ocala

Recently, our Ocala technicians responded to a call about a Whirlpool washer that kept shutting off mid-cycle. The homeowner, living near the Ocala National Forest, noticed the problem worsened during Florida's humid season.

#### What We Found
- The washer's motor was overheating due to excessive lint buildup.
- High humidity caused clothes to retain more moisture, increasing load weight beyond the machine’s capacity.
- The washer's overload sensor triggered frequent shutdowns to prevent damage.

#### The Fix
1. Cleaned the lint traps and internal filters thoroughly.
2. Educated the homeowner on optimal load sizes, especially during humid months.
3. Recommended regular maintenance to prevent buildup.

#### Lesson Learned
In Central Florida, especially in areas like Ocala and surrounding Marion County, humidity can affect appliance performance more than expected. Proper load management and regular cleaning are essential to keep washers running smoothly.

If you live in the Greater Orlando Area or nearby regions like Clermont or Winter Park, be mindful of humidity's impact on your appliances, and don't hesitate to call local professionals for maintenance and repairs.
