# Washer Troubles in Ocala: A Humidity and Hard Water Challenge

In the Ocala service area, where Florida's humidity and hard water are common, appliance issues can sneak up quickly. Recently, our technicians were called to a home near downtown Ocala where the washer was leaking and not spinning properly.

## What We Found
- Mineral buildup from hard water had clogged the water inlet valve.
- Humidity had caused rust around the drum bearings.
- The washer model was a 2016 Whirlpool, common in Central Florida homes.

## Repair Process
1. Replaced the water inlet valve with a corrosion-resistant part.
2. Lubricated and replaced worn drum bearings.
3. Tested multiple wash cycles to ensure smooth operation.

## Lesson Learned
Regular maintenance is critical in the Greater Orlando Area and surrounding regions like Marion County, where seasonal humidity and hard water accelerate wear. Scheduling preventive checks with Clermont technicians or in the Winter Park area can prevent costly repairs.

**If you live near Lake Eola or The Villages community, remember to inspect your appliances before the humid season peaks!**
