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.
Bulk shopping trips to ShopRite on Route 27 mean your freezer's working overtime. That LG or Samsung unit in your garage handles serious load year-round—until the compressor quits or frost buildup blocks airflow. Middlesex Borough's mix of 1960s ranch homes and newer townhouses puts real stress on freezers. Cold stops. Groceries thaw. You need someone who knows these machines inside out.
Most homes in the 08846 zip code were built between 1960 and 1985, with kitchens designed for single-door refrigerators, not the larger standalone freezers many families add now. Older wiring in these ranches sometimes can't handle the startup draw from a high-capacity Bosch or KitchenAid unit. Humidity from nearby Raritan River areas can accelerate condenser coil corrosion—that aluminum surface rusts faster than you'd expect, especially in basement or garage installations where air circulation is poor. Basement and garage freezers in Middlesex see temperature swings that modern appliances weren't built to tolerate. Summer humidity spikes cause the defrost cycle to work harder. Winter cold in unheated spaces can shock the compressor. We've pulled Sub-Zero units out of finished basements on Chestnut Street that had evaporator coil freeze-ups from humidity alone. The thermostat sensor gets confused by wild temperature swings, and the heating element in the defrost cycle can't keep up. Freezers sitting against exterior walls in older homes also pull in cold air that interferes with the thermostat's reading, causing the compressor to cycle erratically.
Common Freezer Issues in Middlesex Borough
Compressor Running But Freezer Won't Cool Below 20°F
Your Samsung or LG freezer hums constantly but the food stays soft. The compressor is cycling, but the evaporator coil's iced over or the defrost timer failed. Ice buildup blocks cold air from reaching the cabinet. This happens fast in Middlesex's humid summers. Defrost cycle breaks, frost piles up, temperature climbs. You'll notice the compressor running almost continuously, but no cold air flows through the vents. The thermostat keeps signaling the compressor to work harder, but the iced coil prevents heat exchange. We diagnose this by checking the defrost timer's cycle time and testing the heating element resistance. If the timer's stuck or the element has burned out, replacement fixes it in under an hour.
Door Seal Cracking, Frost Building Inside
That rubber gasket around your KitchenAid or Bosch freezer door shrinks and cracks after ten years. Warm air leaks in constantly. Frost accumulates on walls and food. You'll see ice crystals forming even with the door closed. Replacing the door gasket seal stops the leak and restores temperature hold. The gasket material becomes brittle in older homes where basements stay damp. We measure the door frame and order the exact replacement gasket for your model. Installation takes about 30 minutes. Many homeowners in Middlesex Borough don't realize a cracked gasket can cost you $20–$30 per month in wasted electricity, so catching it early saves money fast.
Loud Grinding or Rattling from the Back
The condenser fan or drum roller bearing inside your freezer is worn. You hear grinding every time the compressor cycles. A failing drum roller bearing creates friction that damages the entire assembly. Bosch and Sub-Zero units in these older homes often develop bearing wear from voltage fluctuations common in 08846 neighborhoods. Older electrical panels in 1960s ranches sometimes deliver inconsistent voltage to kitchen circuits, which stresses the motor bearings. We test the fan blade rotation and listen for grinding noise from the bearing. If the bearing's bad, we replace the entire fan assembly—usually $200–$350 in parts plus labor. Ignoring this leads to compressor damage, which costs three times as much.

Do you repair Samsung and LG freezers?▼
Yes. Samsung and LG models are common in Middlesex. We also service Bosch, KitchenAid, and Sub-Zero units.

Can you fix a freezer that's frost-locked?▼
Absolutely. We thaw the evaporator coil safely using proper defrost procedures, replace the defrost timer if it's stuck, and test the heating element resistance. Takes about an hour. If the compressor itself is failing or the refrigerant charge is low, you'll need that addressed too. Call for same-day service—we'll walk you through what we find.
My freezer's in my basement. Can you access it?▼
Most basements in Middlesex Borough homes are accessible. We've worked in finished basements, utility rooms, and garages. Tight stairwells can be tricky, but we've handled plenty of those.
