# Ocala Washer Repair: A Humidity Challenge

In the Ocala service area, especially during Florida's humid season, washers often face issues like mold buildup and electrical shorts. Recently, our technicians were called to a home near the Ocala National Forest where a 2018 Samsung washer was malfunctioning.

## The Problem
- Washer wouldn’t start properly
- Strange odors and moisture inside the drum
- Intermittent power failures

## What We Found
- Moisture had corroded some wiring connections
- Mold growth due to trapped humidity
- A faulty door latch sensor

## The Repair Process
1. Diagnosed the electrical faults and cleaned corrosion
2. Replaced the door latch sensor with an OEM part
3. Advised the homeowner on moisture control measures

## Lesson Learned
Humidity in Central Florida, especially in Marion County and Ocala, can cause hidden damage in washers and other appliances. Regular maintenance and addressing moisture issues early can prevent costly repairs.

## Local Context
For families in Ocala and surrounding Marion County, near landmarks like the Ocala Civic Theatre, it's crucial to keep appliances dry and ventilated, especially during the rainy season.
