Lessons Learned from a Washer Repair in Ocala's Humid Summer

## Washer Woes in Ocala's Summer Humidity

Last July, in the Ocala service area, we encountered a surge in washer breakdowns, mainly due to the intense Florida humidity. A homeowner near Silver Springs noticed their 2017 Samsung washer stopped spinning mid-cycle.

### What We Found
- Excess moisture had corroded electrical contacts inside the control panel.
- Mold buildup inside the drum seals worsened due to the warm, damp climate.
- The belt showed signs of wear accelerated by prolonged dampness.

### Repair Process
- Our technician replaced the control panel and belt.
- We thoroughly cleaned and treated the drum seals to prevent mold return.
- Advised the homeowner on better ventilation and regular maintenance.

### Key Takeaway
Florida’s humidity can silently damage appliances like washers and dryers, especially in Marion County. Regular professional inspections are crucial to catch corrosion and mold early, extending appliance life.
