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.
That freezer humming in your basement on Main Street or tucked into a garage near the Breslin Building? It's working harder than most appliances in 07601. Hackensack's mix of older homes and mid-century residential properties means freezers here deal with temperature swings, basement humidity, and the wear that comes with 20+ years of daily use. A Samsung or Whirlpool unit that won't freeze properly isn't just an inconvenience—it's a food safety problem that needs fixing fast.
Downtown Hackensack and the surrounding neighborhoods in 07601 and 07602 have plenty of pre-war homes alongside 1960s ranch-style houses, many with basements that aren't climate-controlled. Older foundations mean moisture creeps in, condenser coils frost over, and compressors work overtime fighting humidity. Historic properties near Main Street often have tight basement access—narrow stairs, low doorways, older electrical circuits that strain when modern freezers cycle hard. These conditions accelerate wear on door gaskets, defrost timers, and the compressor itself. Hackensack residents typically own mid-range freezers like Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, and Bosch models. Many households have older GE or Whirlpool units from the 1990s still running in basements. The humidity levels here—especially near the Hackensack River area and in below-grade spaces—create perfect conditions for condenser coil corrosion and defrost cycle failures. We've pulled more failed thermal fuses and burnt-out defrost heaters from Hackensack basements than anywhere else in Bergen County.
Common Freezer Issues in Hackensack
Frost Buildup Blocking the Evaporator Coil
Hackensack basements trap moisture, especially in older homes. That white or gray frost layer inside your freezer isn't just annoying—it's your evaporator coil icing over because the defrost timer or defrost heater isn't cycling properly. A Whirlpool or GE unit will eventually stop pulling cold air into the freezer compartment. When the evaporator coil freezes solid, the thermal fuse should blow and shut down the compressor to prevent damage. If that fuse fails—common in these humid basements—your compressor keeps running and burns itself out. Call us when you see frost thicker than a quarter-inch.
Compressor Running But Freezer Not Getting Cold
You hear the compressor humming away, but your frozen food is thawing. This usually means low refrigerant, a clogged condenser line, or a failed condenser fan motor. LG and Samsung models in these older Hackensack homes often develop this issue around the 8-10 year mark. The compressor keeps cycling but can't move cold efficiently through the system. In Hackensack's damp basement environment, that condenser fan motor seizes up from corrosion, and the condenser coil can't release heat properly. You'll see the compressor cycling on and off every few minutes instead of running steady. That's your sign refrigerant pressure is dropping or the fan motor is dead.
Door Seal Failing and Letting Warm Air In
That rubber door gasket on your KitchenAid or Bosch freezer hardens and shrinks over time, especially in basements with temperature swings. Warm air leaks in, your compressor runs constantly, and your electric bill jumps. You'll notice frost only on one side or the door not closing tight. It's a cheap part fix but needs attention before the compressor burns out. Hackensack's basements cycle between cold winters and humid summers—that temperature stress breaks down gasket material faster than you'd expect. A bad seal forces your compressor to work 30-40% harder, and eventually the motor overheats.

Same-day repair available most days. For Hackensack locations, we can usually schedule you within 2-3 hours of your call.
Why do freezers fail so often in Hackensack basements?▼
Humidity and temperature swings. Older homes in downtown Hackensack and near Main Street have basements that aren't sealed properly. Moisture gets into the condenser fan motor, causing it to seize. It corrodes the condenser coil fins, reducing heat transfer. The defrost heater element fails because water gets into the wiring. Cold air leaks around failing door gaskets because of constant temperature cycling. These conditions are brutal on freezer compressors. A unit that might last 12-15 years in a climate-controlled kitchen might only last 8-10 years in a Hackensack basement. That's why we see so many Samsung and Whirlpool compressor failures here.
