How Seasonal Humidity Impacted a Washer in Ocala and What We Learned

### The Ocala Service Area Experience

Living in Ocala, part of Marion County, means dealing with high humidity especially during the rainy season. Recently, a customer near the Ocala National Forest called us about their washer not draining properly.

### What Happened?
- The washing machine, a 2018 Whirlpool model, had developed mold and mildew buildup around the drain pump due to persistent moisture.
- This led to clogging and strange odors, common issues in humid Central Florida homes.

### Our Approach
- Our technician inspected the unit and found the pump filter clogged with debris and mold.
- We cleaned the filter thoroughly and replaced a worn-out seal to prevent leaks.
- The customer lives near the Ocala service area, so our team arrived within 90 minutes.

### Lesson Learned
- Florida humidity can accelerate wear on washers; regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent costly repairs.
- Customers in the Greater Orlando Area and surrounding counties should schedule seasonal checks.

### Takeaway
If you’re in The Villages community, Clermont, or Sanford, don’t overlook the impact of humidity on your appliances. Preventive maintenance is key to extending their lifespan.
