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.
Ice makers in Freehold Borough's mix of 1980s colonials and ranch homes work overtime during summer entertaining season. That Whirlpool or GE refrigerator suddenly stops producing ice, and you're stuck buying bags from the grocery store instead of getting cubes on demand. The fill valve freezes up. The sensor misfires. Sometimes it's just a clogged water line. Whatever the culprit, it's fixable—and usually faster than you'd think.
Freehold Borough (zip 07728) has plenty of homes built between 1975 and 1995, and those refrigerators are still running strong. The issue isn't the age—it's the mineral content in Monmouth County water. Hard water builds up inside fill valves and inlet lines, especially in the homes near Route 9 and the residential blocks around Wemrock Park. Older plumbing in these ranch-style builds sometimes runs inconsistent pressure to the ice maker, starving the assembly of water when you need it most. Water hardness in this area typically runs 200–250 ppm, which accelerates mineral scaling inside the water inlet valve and supply tubing. Residents on the south side of Freehold, near the commercial strips, often report slower ice production than those in the quieter neighborhoods—usually because municipal water pressure fluctuates during peak afternoon hours. We've serviced hundreds of ice makers across Freehold Borough, and the pattern is always the same: hard water plus older plumbing equals fill valve trouble within 8–10 years.
Common Ice Maker Issues in Freehold Borough
Fill Valve Frozen or Clogged — The Most Common Call in Freehold
That water line leading to your ice maker gets blocked by mineral deposits or actually freezes solid during cold snaps. The fill valve stops opening, so no water reaches the ice maker assembly. You'll see no ice production at all, or just a trickle. Samsung and LG models are especially prone to this because their fill valves sit closer to the back wall where temps drop. We replace the valve, flush the line, and you're back to normal within an hour. The fill valve itself costs between $80 and $150 depending on the brand, plus labor. Most Freehold Borough homeowners see the problem after a hard freeze in January or February.
Ice Maker Sensor Malfunction — Why You Get Small or Misshapen Cubes
The optical or mechanical sensor inside your ice maker tells the refrigerator when a batch is ready to eject. When it fails, you get undersized ice, partial batches, or cubes that stick together. KitchenAid and Bosch models in the nicer homes around Freehold have more complex sensors that fail faster than budget units. We diagnose with a multimeter and swap the sensor—usually a 30-minute job including testing. If your ice maker runs but stops mid-cycle, or if you're seeing error codes on the display panel, the sensor is almost always the culprit. Replacement sensors run $60–$120 depending on the model.
Compressor or Evaporator Coil Issues Starving the Ice Maker
Your refrigerator's compressor cycles but doesn't cool the evaporator coil enough to freeze water properly. The ice maker runs, but produces mushy or slow cubes. This happens in older GE and Whirlpool units where the evaporator coil gets frosted over from defrost timer failure. We check the defrost cycle, clean the coil if needed, and verify the compressor is pulling full pressure. Takes about 90 minutes start to finish. A failing defrost timer usually shows up as frost buildup on the back wall of the fridge or ice maker compartment that won't melt. Compressor problems are rarer but more expensive—replacement typically runs $400–$600 for the part alone.
