# Refrigerator Breakdown in Orlando: A Central Florida Lesson

Last month, our Clermont technicians responded to a call from a family near Lake Eola in Orlando. Their 2016 Samsung refrigerator stopped cooling during the humid Florida season, a common issue in the Greater Orlando Area.

## What Happened?
- The fridge's condenser coils were clogged with dust and pet hair.
- This caused the compressor to overheat and shut down intermittently.

## Key Takeaways for Central Florida Residents
- **Humidity matters:** Florida's moisture accelerates dust buildup, affecting appliance performance.
- **Regular coil cleaning:** At least twice a year, especially in Orange and Lake Counties.
- **Prompt repairs:** Waiting too long can cause compressor damage, leading to costly replacements.

## How We Fixed It
- Our Ocala service area techs cleaned the coils thoroughly.
- Replaced a faulty start relay on the compressor.
- Tested the fridge over 24 hours to ensure stability.

## Lesson Learned
Maintaining appliances in the Winter Park area and surrounding Seminole County communities requires attention to Florida's unique climate challenges. Regular preventive maintenance can save money and avoid emergency repairs.
