What Longview's climate does to appliances
Longview averages a July high near 94°F and a January low around 37°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Longview E Tx Regional Airport station, 9 mi away). With 5 months averaging 80°F or hotter, refrigerators and freezers run long compressor cycles for much of the year — which is why cooling faults, worn door gaskets and overworked condenser fans lead our call volume here. Longview also receives roughly 45.3" of precipitation a year — humid air makes dryers work harder and encourages musty washer drums.
