Ocala Washer Repair: Lessons from Florida Humidity and Seasonal Wear

### A Washer Breakdown in Ocala: What We Learned

Recently, our technicians were called to a home in Ocala, part of the Marion County service area, after a Whirlpool washer stopped spinning and started leaking water. This story highlights common issues faced by Central Florida residents due to the unique climate and seasonal changes.

#### The Situation
- **Location:** Ocala service area, near Silver Springs State Park
- **Appliance:** Whirlpool front-load washer, 2017 model
- **Symptoms:** Washer wouldn’t spin, leaking water, strange noises

#### Diagnosis
Our Clermont technicians found that the high Florida humidity had caused the rubber door seal to deteriorate faster than usual, leading to leaks and mold buildup. Additionally, the drive belt was worn from extended use and seasonal moisture exposure.

#### Repair Process
- Replaced the rubber door seal with a moisture-resistant part
- Installed a new drive belt
- Cleaned mold and residue around the drum

#### Lessons for Central Florida Residents
- **Humidity Impact:** Florida’s humidity accelerates wear on rubber seals and belts.
- **Seasonal Checks:** Schedule preventive maintenance before the wet season to catch early wear.
- **Local Expertise:** Using Ocala or Clermont technicians familiar with these local conditions ensures faster, more accurate repairs.
