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.
Homes around Beaver Lake and the newer construction off Pulis Avenue tend to run Sub-Zero columns and Thermador built-in refrigerators — appliances that cost more to replace than a decent used car. A dead ice maker on a Sub-Zero isn't a minor inconvenience. The fill valve assembly on those units is buried behind a panel, and the module itself communicates through a control board that needs proper diagnostic tools, not guesswork. We've been handling this work in Franklin Lakes long enough to know which failures show up on which blocks — and which brands they show up on.
Franklin Lakes (07417) is mostly large single-family homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s, with a wave of teardown-rebuilds adding newer construction. Many kitchens got upgraded along the way — original cabinetry out, panel-ready built-ins in. That combination matters for this kind of work because the water supply lines in these older pipe runs sometimes feed modern appliances with inconsistent pressure, which stresses the water inlet valve far more than the manufacturer designed for. Properties near the lake areas add another variable. Ambient humidity in those homes is measurably higher than in drier inland neighborhoods, and that accelerates scale buildup inside inlet valves and along the supply tubing behind the unit. A Sub-Zero column that lasts a decade without problems elsewhere might start showing fill issues within five or six years here. The appliance isn't defective — the environment is just harder on certain components. That context matters before you start swapping parts.
Common Ice Maker Issues in Franklin Lakes
Fill Valve Failure on Sub-Zero and Thermador Built-Ins
The water inlet valve on Sub-Zero 700 series and Thermador Freedom columns is a frequent failure point in this area. Mineral content in Bergen County's water supply — not extreme, but consistent — deposits scale inside the valve seat over several years. Result: no production at all, or the machine cycles constantly without filling the bin. The valve has to come out, not just flushed. In Franklin Lakes homes where older supply lines feed newer panel-ready units, feed pressure is sometimes also the culprit — running around 20 psi when these valves need 40 to 60 to seat correctly. Two separate problems that look identical until you put a gauge on the line.
Frozen Water Line Behind the Freezer Wall
Miele and Wolf refrigeration units with bottom-mount configurations sometimes freeze the supply line inside the door hinge channel — especially in Franklin Lakes homes where open floor plans and high ceilings let the kitchen run cold in winter. The tubing itself is fine. The problem is a failed or out-of-spec freezer thermostat letting the compartment drop well below the set point, turning that water tube into a solid plug. Thawing the line without replacing the thermostat just means scheduling the same job again in six months.
Module and Sensor Failures on KitchenAid Built-Ins
KitchenAid's built-in side-by-side and French-door models from the mid-2000s through 2015 frequently develop problems with the optical sensor in the ice maker assembly — the unit reads a full bin when it's empty, so production just stops. The sensor component is inexpensive; the labor involves pulling the bin, verifying emitter alignment, and sometimes replacing the entire harvest module. On these KitchenAid units, the symptom usually shows as a blinking status light rather than a fault code on the display — three blinks typically points to harvest motor failure, which is a different fix than the sensor issue and gets misdiagnosed regularly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Franklin Lakes for ice maker repair?▼
Most calls from the 07417 zip get a same-day slot. We route through Route 202 from the south or Skyline Drive from the east depending on traffic — typically at your door within 2 hours. Driveways are easy here, no parking headaches. Call (201) 555-0199 to check today's availability.
Do you service Sub-Zero and Thermador refrigerators?▼
Yes, those are probably half our Franklin Lakes calls. Sub-Zero column units, Thermador Freedom series, and Viking built-ins need a different approach than standard freestanding models — diagnostics run through the control board, and pulling the assembly without the right tools usually causes damage. Common work: water inlet valve replacement, harvest cycle failures, and clearing error codes tied to the sensor harness. Parts for these brands take longer to source elsewhere, so we stock the ones that come up regularly in this area.
What does this kind of repair cost, and do you charge for the diagnostic?▼
Diagnostic is $85, applied toward the repair if you proceed. Most fixes — fill valve swap, module replacement, frozen line clearance — run $150–$350 depending on parts. Sub-Zero and Thermador components cost more than standard brands; we'll quote before touching anything. Emergency evening slots are available at no extra fee.
