# Washer Repair in Ocala: Battling Florida Humidity

In the Ocala service area, the high Florida humidity can wreak havoc on household appliances, especially washers. Recently, our technicians were called out to a home near the Ocala National Forest where a Whirlpool washer stopped spinning properly.

## The Problem
- Washer model: Whirlpool WTW5000DW, 2017
- Symptoms: Washer filled and drained but did not spin
- Customer noted increased humidity and frequent rain in Marion County

## What We Found
- Moisture had caused corrosion on the control board connectors
- Rubber seals were deteriorated, allowing excess moisture inside

## The Repair Process
1. Diagnostic took about 30 minutes on site
2. Replaced control board and rubber seals with OEM parts
3. Tested multiple cycles to ensure proper spinning

## Lessons Learned
Florida's humidity, especially in Marion County and the Greater Orlando Area, can accelerate wear on washers. Preventive maintenance and timely repairs by local Ocala technicians can extend appliance life.
