How Humidity in Ocala Affected Our Washer Repair Experience

# Washer Repair in Ocala: Battling Florida Humidity

When our team received a call from a homeowner in the Ocala service area about their washer failing mid-cycle, we knew Florida's high humidity might be a factor. The washer, a 2018 Samsung model, was not draining properly and leaving clothes soaking wet — a frustrating issue especially with the rainy season approaching.

## What We Found
- **Cause:** Mold and mildew buildup inside the drain pump caused by persistent humidity.
- **Solution:** Replaced the drain pump and cleaned internal hoses thoroughly.
- **Timeframe:** Technician arrived within an hour, repair took about 90 minutes.

## Lessons Learned
- Florida’s humidity can accelerate mold growth inside appliances.
- Regular maintenance, especially in the Winter Park and Sanford areas, can prevent costly repairs.
- Using appliance covers or dehumidifiers in basements or garages near Lake Eola can extend appliance life.

## Takeaway for Central Florida Residents
If you’re in the Greater Orlando Area or surrounding communities like Clermont or The Villages, be mindful of seasonal humidity effects on your appliances. Scheduling preventive maintenance with local technicians can save time and money.
