How Florida Humidity Caused a Washer Breakdown in Ocala

### Washer Trouble in Ocala: A Humidity Challenge

Living in the Ocala service area, we often overlook how Florida's persistent humidity can affect household appliances. Recently, a local homeowner's Whirlpool washer stopped mid-cycle, leaving clothes soaking wet and plans disrupted.

#### What Happened?
- The washer was about 6 years old, operating near the humid Marion County climate.
- The motor overheated due to moisture affecting electrical components.
- A faulty door seal allowed excess moisture inside, accelerating wear.

#### The Repair Process
- Our Clermont technicians arrived within 90 minutes, diagnosed the motor and door seal.
- Replaced the door seal and motor brushes, ensuring no moisture intrusion.
- Tested the washer near Lake Eola-like humidity conditions to confirm repair.

#### Lesson Learned
Humidity in Central Florida, especially in Ocala and surrounding Marion County, can silently damage appliances. Regular maintenance and quick repairs prevent costly breakdowns.

If you live in the Greater Orlando Area or nearby, keeping your washer and other appliances dry and serviced is crucial to avoid unexpected failures.
