In the Ocala service area, we recently encountered an interesting case involving a Whirlpool washer that kept stopping mid-cycle. This issue was a common complaint among homeowners in Marion County, especially given Central Florida's high humidity.

## What We Found

## Steps Taken

## Key Takeaways
