Unexpected Dryer Breakdown in Winter Park: What We Learned

# Unexpected Dryer Breakdown in Winter Park

Living in the Winter Park area means dealing with Florida humidity, which can sometimes affect household appliances like dryers. Recently, a customer near Lake Eola called us when their dryer suddenly stopped heating.

## The Problem
The dryer, a 5-year-old Whirlpool model, was tumbling but not producing heat. This is a common seasonal issue exacerbated by humidity and lint buildup.

## What We Did
Our technician arrived within 90 minutes, inspected the heating element and thermal fuse, and found the thermal fuse blown due to lint accumulation. We replaced the fuse on-site and cleaned the vent thoroughly.

## Lesson Learned
Regular maintenance, especially vent cleaning, is crucial in Central Florida's humid climate to prevent such breakdowns.

## Takeaway for Winter Park Residents
- Schedule vent cleaning annually
- Watch for longer drying times
- Call professionals for heater issues
