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.
Somerset County tap water in the 07060 zip tests between 10 and 12 grains per gallon hardness — that mineral load shortens fill valve life in North Plainfield faster than manufacturers expect. Pre-war bungalows and capes near Downtown North Plainfield run a lot of Samsung and Whirlpool side-by-sides, and pulled-out calcified inlet valves from both brands are a weekly sight on our service calls here. Most days we're on-site within two hours. Call (908) 295-0199.
North Plainfield's 07060 zip packs a lot of housing variety into 2.7 square miles — 1920s and 1930s bungalows alongside 1950s capes and multi-family rentals, especially in the West End. Kitchens in these older homes run tight, appliances tucked under low-hung cabinets with barely enough clearance to pull a refrigerator forward. Meadowlands-area homes tend to hold onto older GE and Whirlpool side-by-sides still running on 1970s electrical panels — the kind that throws voltage inconsistencies the control board eventually doesn't survive. That combination of hard water and unstable voltage makes North Plainfield one of the busier stops in Somerset County for refrigerator calls. Renovated units near the Somerset County Arboretum access roads have started getting counter-depth LG and KitchenAid french-door models. Residents in that corridor upgrade more often, which shifts the failure pattern — more units under eight years old showing sensor faults and board errors rather than pure mineral damage. Different problems, same borough.
Common Ice Maker Issues in North Plainfield
Calcified Water Inlet Valve From Hard Somerset County Water
Somerset County municipal water runs consistently hard — North Plainfield tap regularly tests in the 10-12 grains per gallon range. That mineral content deposits inside the water inlet valve over months, slowly narrowing the opening until the machine stops cycling altogether. Samsung french-door models in this zip show this failure more than any other brand we service here. A replacement valve runs about an hour of labor, and flushing the supply line while we're in there is standard. We stock Samsung inlet valves on the truck for 07060 calls because the turnaround frequency makes it worth carrying.
Frozen Fill Tube in Aging GE and Whirlpool Units
GE and Whirlpool side-by-sides from the 1990s and early 2000s — still common in North Plainfield's older bungalows — develop defrost timer wear that lets the freezer run two or three degrees colder than the set point. That extra cold freezes the small plastic fill tube feeding water to the ice tray. Once frozen, the unit cycles and pulls nothing. Thawing the line and recalibrating the thermostat usually closes the ticket without a parts order. If the defrost timer itself has failed, that component is inexpensive and available same-day from our Somerset County supplier.
Ice Level Sensor Arm Stuck on LG French-Door Refrigerators
The infrared ice level sensor in LG french-door units — the small arm that sits in the bin and signals "full" to halt production — fails frequently in models five to seven years old. Stuck in the "full" position, production stops even with an empty bin. Depending on whether the sensor arm or the underlying control board has failed, the fix is either a fast part swap or a board replacement. Control boards for LG units run $200+, so we confirm the fault on-site before ordering anything. No guessing.

Do you repair Samsung and LG refrigerators with ice maker problems?▼

KitchenAid counter-depth models show up regularly too, especially in the renovated kitchens near the West End. Parts for the common failures typically ride on the truck for 07060 calls.
