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.
Suez Water NJ runs moderately hard through 07628 — enough dissolved calcium to coat the fill tube and water inlet valve inside a KitchenAid or LG french-door unit over two to three years. Most homeowners in Dumont don't notice until cube output drops to nothing. Near Memorial Park and along Grant Avenue, this is the most common repair call we get here. Same-day service, usually there within two hours. The water hardness in this part of Bergen County typically sits around 80-100 mg/L. Not extreme, but consistent. Over two or three years that mineral load coats the interior of the fill line, restricts flow through the solenoid, and eventually shuts down production entirely. Caught early, it's a straightforward valve swap. Left alone, it can damage the module itself and turn a $180 repair into a $350 one.
Most of 07628 was built between the late 1940s and early 1970s — cape cods and split-levels with copper supply lines now 50-plus years old. Mineral deposits from aging pipes accumulate inside fill tubes and inlet valves faster than owners expect. Colonials off Washington Avenue and Dumont Avenue feeding a new LG or Bosch refrigerator are the most common scenario we see. The newer construction along Depew Avenue and the ranch-style homes near Dumont High School tend to have updated plumbing but run higher-end appliances — KitchenAid, Sub-Zero, sometimes Thermador. Those units have more electronics and proprietary parts, so diagnosis takes longer. In older sections of Dumont closer to the Cresskill border, galvanized pipes that were never replaced add iron sediment to the mix, which clogs the water inlet valve screen even faster than calcium alone.
Common Ice Maker Issues in Dumont
Mineral Scale Choking the Water Inlet Valve
Bergen County water deposits calcium steadily inside the water inlet valve solenoid that controls flow into the freezer compartment. Once it narrows, you get thin hollow cubes or nothing at all. On KitchenAid models, the valve sits behind the lower back panel — 45 minutes to replace, parts typically on the truck. LG units use a dual-solenoid valve that controls both the dispenser and the ice production line; when one solenoid fails, the other usually follows within months, so we replace the full assembly in one visit.
Frozen Fill Line After Door Gasket Failure
A slightly unlevel LG or Samsung french-door unit lets the door gasket gap, warm air sneaks into the freezer, and the fill tube ices over completely. No ice, and sometimes a puddle under the fridge. Thawing takes 20 minutes — but fixing the leveling and replacing the gasket is what stops it refreezing in two weeks. In Dumont's older homes, uneven kitchen floors from decades of settling are often the real culprit. The refrigerator wasn't installed wrong; the floor just isn't level anymore.
Ice Maker Module or Optical Sensor Failure
Bosch and Sub-Zero refrigerators — more common in updated kitchens around Euclid Avenue in Dumont — use optical sensors to detect a full bin. Dust, frost, or slight misalignment stops production even when the water line is clear. The module itself can also fail outright; Bosch units sometimes need a full assembly swap. Sub-Zero models use a harvest thermostat that triggers the ejection cycle — when it reads temperature wrong, cubes freeze into a solid block inside the tray instead of dropping into the bin.
Auger Motor Failure in Samsung French-Door Models
Samsung french-door units throw 1E or 14E error codes when the auger motor seizes or the control board loses communication with the ice system. The auger sweeps cubes out of the tray into the dispenser chute — when it stops turning, frozen blocks pile up and eventually jam the whole assembly. Control board failures usually show up first as intermittent production, not a complete stop. If your Samsung stopped making ice but the water dispenser still works fine, that's the first thing to check. Call (201) 888-0147 — we carry Samsung auger motor assemblies on the truck for Dumont and the surrounding Bergen County towns.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Dumont for ice maker repair?▼
We run out of Bergen County and typically reach 07628 in 20-30 minutes. Call (201) 888-0147 before noon for same-day service — morning slots book fastest. Evening appointments available until 7 PM most days. Residential street parking in Dumont is easy; most calls in the Grant Avenue and Washington Avenue areas have spots right out front.
Do you repair KitchenAid, LG, and Samsung units in Dumont?▼
Yes — those three cover most calls in 07628. KitchenAid usually needs a new water inlet valve or module. LG french-door models often have frozen fill tubes or failed auger motors. Samsung throws error codes — 1E or 14E — before production stops entirely. We also handle Sub-Zero and Bosch for Dumont homeowners who've upgraded their kitchens; those brands require factory-specific parts we order in advance once we diagnose the issue.
What does ice maker repair typically cost in Dumont?▼
Diagnostic visit is $85, applied toward any repair. Most jobs — valve swap, module replacement, fill line thaw plus leveling check — run $150-$280 parts and labor. Sub-Zero work runs higher, typically $200-$400 depending on which component failed. Common parts stay on the truck so same-day completion is the norm. You get the exact number before we touch anything.
Is hard water really causing most of these problems in Dumont?▼
For homes in the older sections of Dumont — especially anywhere with original copper lines — yes. The water here isn't the worst in Bergen County, but it's persistent. After three years, you'll usually find scale inside the fill tube screen and on the inlet valve solenoid. Running the refrigerator's water filter on schedule slows it down but doesn't eliminate it. If your Dumont home is 40-plus years old and the unit has never been serviced, a quick cleaning and inspection during a repair visit is worth the extra 20 minutes.
