Dmitry visited today and helped fixing GE oven. He was quick to diagnose issue and fixed it at reasonable price.
I haven't met a man as professional and honest as Alex in a long time. He really does the best in the interest of the customer.
Igor from Boost Appliance Service repaired my subzero refrigerator. He needed to order parts but in general the repair turned over was fast and my fridge is working perfectly right now. The best service in Morristown. Highly recommend!
I was very impressed with their great availability. They scheduled me in quickly and Ramiz was very knowledgeable and detail oriented. The error code we had was not appearing but he still spent 45 minutes making sure everything was checked. I appreciated his attention to detail and not just leaving when the error code wasn't there. We will definitely be returning customers!

I called on Monday and Mr. Igor came the next day to repair the defrost sensor and drain line of my fridge, he also did thorough maintenance checks on my laundry dryer and laundry washer machine. 3 appliances all in one day. Highly recommended. Answered all my questions and showed me how to maintain my appliances. Thank you.
Eddie did an EXCELLENT job diagnosing, repairing and cleaning my washer and dryer. Completely disassembled it, made it run smoother than ever and made the inside shine like new.
Bergen County's newer construction around Route 4 and the residential blocks near Van Saun County Park tend to pack premium refrigerators—LG french doors, Samsung side-by-sides, even Bosch built-ins—into tight kitchen layouts. When the ice maker quits, homeowners in 07621 realize how much they depend on it. A frozen water line or failed fill valve stops ice production cold, and waiting around isn't an option.
Bergenfield's mix of 1970s colonials and newer construction (especially developments near MacArthur Park) means appliances run the gamut. Older homes sometimes fight low water pressure or mineral buildup from hard water, which clogs inlet valves and sensors. Newer builds favor integrated ice makers tucked into cabinetry—KitchenAid and Bosch units that require precise access and brand-specific know-how. Either way, the water supply lines running through walls can freeze during cold snaps, blocking the fill valve and leaving you with an empty bin. Bergenfield winters are no joke. December through February, we see frozen water lines at least three times a week. The problem gets worse in homes built before 1980 where insulation around cabinet spaces is minimal or nonexistent. Hard water is another headache here. Bergen County's water supply carries dissolved minerals that accumulate inside the solenoid valve, the inlet valve, and the ice mold itself. Over time, mineral scale restricts water flow to a trickle. Your ice cubes come out small, hollow, or misshapen. Sometimes the ice maker cycles but produces nothing at all because the water pressure has dropped below the 20 PSI threshold needed to trigger the fill cycle. Sub-Zero and Thermador models in the newer developments handle this better than budget units, but even premium refrigerators need preventive maintenance in areas with hard water.
Common Ice Maker Issues in Bergenfield
Water Line Frozen in Winter—No Ice Flowing
Bergenfield winters hit hard, and ice maker water lines running through uninsulated cabinet spaces freeze solid. The fill valve can't open, so water never reaches the ice mold. You'll see the bin empty but hear the motor trying to cycle. The solenoid valve may click repeatedly without actually opening. Thawing the line with heat tape or repositioning insulation fixes it, but a failed solenoid valve or stuck fill valve might need replacement too. If the line has frozen more than once, we usually recommend adding foam pipe insulation or rerouting the line to a warmer area inside the cabinet. Call (201) 555-0199 and we can assess whether a simple thaw or a full valve replacement makes sense for your situation.
Small, Misshapen Ice or Slow Production
Hard water mineral deposits clog the inlet valve and ice mold openings on Samsung and LG units common in Bergenfield. The fill valve opens partially, so each cube freezes thin or hollow. The evaporator coil also collects scale, reducing cooling efficiency. A technician flushes the system and tests the water inlet valve pressure—usually 20 PSI minimum—to confirm proper flow. On KitchenAid models, the defrost timer can also malfunction, preventing the ice maker from cycling properly. We've replaced hundreds of inlet valves in this area alone. Most homeowners notice the problem after 3-5 years of use, especially if they haven't flushed the system annually.
Ice Maker Sensor Malfunction—Bin Full Signal Stuck
The optical or mechanical sensor telling the ice maker when the bin is full gets stuck or misaligned in Bosch and KitchenAid models. Machine thinks the bin is always full and stops making ice. Dust and frost buildup on the sensor lens is the culprit. Cleaning or replacing the sensor assembly restores normal operation within an hour. Bosch built-in refrigerators in newer Bergenfield construction often have this issue because the sensor sits in a tight spot where frost accumulates. If you see an error code on the display (like E1 or E3 on some Samsung models), the sensor assembly is usually the cause.
