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!
A+++ Service. Boost Appliance Service is great. 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.
Roosevelt Avenue and the side streets running toward Carteret Park are packed with two-story colonials and cape cods where laundry runs on a tight schedule. A Whirlpool dryer that stopped heating or an LG drum that won't spin throws off the whole week. Boost Appliance Service handles dryer repairs across Carteret — usually out to you the same day you call.
Most of the housing stock in zip code 07008 was built between the 1950s and 1970s, and a lot of those laundry setups are tucked into basements or narrow utility closets. That tight space traps lint and restricts exhaust airflow more than most homeowners realize. The older ductwork common in these homes — especially near Cooke Avenue and the blocks behind Carteret High School — is a direct contributor to dryer failures that look like mechanical problems but are actually ventilation issues.
Common Dryer Issues in Carteret
Clogged Exhaust Vents Causing No-Heat Calls in Older Carteret Homes
A dryer that runs but produces no heat is one of the most common calls we get in 07008. Nine times out of ten, a blown thermal fuse is the culprit — and that fuse blew because the exhaust vent was partially or fully blocked. On Whirlpool and GE units in these older basement setups, lint compresses in the duct bends over years and the thermal fuse trips as a safety response. Replacing the fuse without clearing the vent just means it blows again in a few months.
Drum Not Spinning — Worn Drive Belt on Mid-Range Units
You hear the motor humming but the drum sits still. That's almost always a snapped or stretched drive belt. Samsung front-load dryers in Carteret homes see this failure regularly, especially units that have been running daily loads for five-plus years. The belt tensioner pulley wears out alongside it, so both parts usually need to go at the same time. Skipping the pulley replacement is a shortcut that leads to another service call within six months.
Long Dry Times Traced to Worn Drum Rollers and Moisture Sensor Issues
Clothes taking two full cycles to dry isn't always a heating problem. On LG and KitchenAid dryers, worn drum rollers create enough drag that the drum spins slowly and tumbling becomes uneven — clothes clump and the moisture sensor reads them as wetter than they are. The sensor itself can also get coated with dryer sheet residue over time, throwing off readings entirely. Both are straightforward fixes once you've actually pulled the unit apart and checked each component.
