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.
Salt air rolling off the Atlantic accelerates corrosion inside refrigerator ice maker assemblies faster than most homeowners expect. Pulled a call near Pier Village last August — LG french-door unit, water inlet valve had seized completely after two summers near the shore. Long Branch 07740 tap water also runs moderate hardness, which layers calcium onto the sensor arm and fill tube until ice production just stops. The combination is rougher on ice makers here than in inland Monmouth County towns.
West End and North End neighborhoods hold a mix of converted seasonal rentals, 1970s split-levels, and newer condo towers along Broadway and Ocean Avenue. Many of these homes kept original supply line hookups when appliances were upgraded — some of those lines are 30-plus years old and run through uninsulated cabinet cavities. Buildings in the 07740 zip near the beachfront also deal with persistent humidity year-round, which shortens the service life of electrical components inside the ice maker module itself.
Common Ice Maker Issues in Long Branch
Corroded Water Inlet Valve from Coastal Humidity
The fill valve sits low at the back of the refrigerator, right where humidity collects in homes near the shore. On Samsung and LG units, the solenoid inside oxidizes and stops opening fully — you get partial ice production, misshapen cubes, or nothing at all. Swapping the inlet valve typically takes under an hour once the part is confirmed. That's the first thing to check before replacing the entire module.
Frozen Water Line Through Uninsulated Walls
Older Long Branch homes — especially converted seasonals in the North End — sometimes route the supply line through an exterior wall or tight cabinet with no insulation. That line freezes in January and February, starving the ice maker completely. GE and Whirlpool side-by-sides are hit hardest because the line run from the wall shutoff is longer. Thawing the line and adding foam sleeve insulation prevents it from coming back next winter.
Mineral Buildup Locking the Sensor Arm
Moderate water hardness in the 07740 service area deposits calcium on the ice maker sensor arm over time, jamming it in the raised (off) position. KitchenAid french-door models get this constantly — the arm stops signaling for a new cycle even when the bin is empty. A mechanical descale and reset fixes it in most visits. If the arm itself has cracked from the buildup pressure, the whole ice maker assembly needs to come out.

Do you repair Samsung and LG refrigerators in Long Branch?▼
Yes — Samsung and LG french-door units are the most common calls here, followed by Whirlpool and KitchenAid. On Samsung, we most often replace the fill valve or clear the defrost drain that backs up into the ice bin. LG ice maker assemblies are a frequent swap. We stock parts for all four brands.
How much does ice maker repair cost, and is same-day service available?▼
