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.
Row houses off Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard have been running the same Whirlpool chest freezers in their basements for twenty-plus years. Eventually the compressor gives out or the door gasket cracks, and suddenly $300 worth of meat is at risk. Right across town near Harrison PATH station, the newer condo buildings are running Samsung and LG french-door units — and frost buildup on the evaporator coil is the more common call we get from that side of 07029.
Most of the housing stock in Harrison sits in attached row homes built between the 1920s and 1950s — concentrated in the north and west neighborhoods off Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard in zip 07029. Kitchens are compact, and freezers get pushed into tight corners with almost no airflow around the condenser coils. The electrical wiring in these older homes often delivers inconsistent voltage, which stresses compressor start relays over time. Near the Passaic River side of town, the humidity is noticeably worse and accelerates door gasket deterioration on units that sit along exterior walls. The redevelopment around Red Bull Arena changed the appliance mix in 07029 significantly. Buildings along Harrison Avenue and the blocks between the arena and the PATH station were built or gut-renovated after 2010 — those kitchens run Samsung and LG french-door refrigerator-freezers with icemaker assemblies, and the water hardness in this part of Hudson County clogs inlet valves faster than most owners expect. We see that call every few weeks from the newer Harrison Avenue towers. Across town on the Kearny border, it's still older construction — narrower kitchens, older electrical panels that deliver inconsistent voltage, and chest freezers from GE or Maytag that have been running since the early 2000s. Voltage fluctuations stress the compressor start relay and control board in ways that newer homes don't see. If a freezer on that side of town is clicking on startup or failing to hold temperature overnight, the wiring situation is always part of the diagnosis.
Common Freezer Issues in Harrison
Frost Buildup Blocking the Evaporator Coil
Ice accumulates on the evaporator coil when the defrost heater or defrost timer stops working — airflow shuts down and the freezer slowly loses temperature while the compressor keeps cycling. GE and Whirlpool uprights in the older row homes along Frank E. Rodgers Blvd are the most common units with this failure. Often shows as an F5 or dH error code before the freezer warms completely.
Loud Compressor That Stopped Freezing
A clicking or rattling compressor usually points to a failed start relay or a refrigerant issue. Samsung RZ-series and RF-series units — common in the newer 07029 condo buildings near the PATH station — fail at the start relay first. That part costs under $20. Ignore it and the compressor overheats within weeks, turning a $90 repair into a $400 one.
Door Seal Failure Causing Overnight Temperature Swings
A cracked or warped door gasket lets warm air seep in constantly, running the compressor harder and causing uneven temps throughout the cabinet. Harrison's proximity to the Passaic River means higher ambient humidity, which degrades rubber gaskets faster than in drier areas. LG and KitchenAid models both show this as soft or partially thawed contents by morning with no visible frost on the walls.
Icemaker Assembly Failures in Hard-Water Zip Codes
Hudson County water hardness runs high — around 120–150 ppm in 07029 — and it shows up in icemaker assemblies faster than anywhere else we service. Mineral deposits clog the water inlet valve and freeze-up the fill tube, causing the icemaker to stop cycling entirely. Samsung and LG french-door units in the newer Harrison Avenue buildings get this more than any other call. A valve swap and line flush usually runs under two hours. Call (201) 555-0199 if your icemaker stopped cycling or started producing undersized cubes.

How fast can you get to Harrison for a freezer repair?▼
Harrison runs on our daily Hudson County route. Most calls in 07029 get same-day service, usually within 2 hours of booking. Street parking near the row house blocks can be tight, but we know the area. Call (201) 555-0199 to check morning availability.
Do you repair Samsung and LG freezers in Harrison?▼
Yes — both Samsung and LG are regular calls, especially in the newer buildings near Harrison PATH station and Red Bull Arena. We keep start relays, door gaskets, and control boards stocked for both brands. GE and Whirlpool from the older row homes on the Kearny side of town come up just as often. Either way, same-day slots are usually open in 07029.
How much does freezer repair cost, and should I wait or call now?▼
A defrost heater swap or start relay replacement typically runs $120–$180 all in. A failing door gasket stresses the compressor every hour it runs — don't leave it more than a day. Evening and same-day emergency slots are available in 07029 when food is at risk.
