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.
Humidity in Paterson's residential blocks around Van Houten Street and the Dundee Lake area puts serious strain on freezer compressors, especially in older homes where moisture creeps into mechanical systems. Your Whirlpool or GE freezer might run fine for years, then suddenly stop holding temperature—and by the time you notice, you've lost a freezer full of food. That's the reality for most homeowners in 07501 and 07502 zip codes. A failing compressor or worn door gasket doesn't fix itself, and waiting usually costs you more than catching it early. Most freezer failures in Paterson happen because of humidity damage to the condenser coil or refrigerant leaks that develop silently over months.
Paterson's housing stock ranges from 1920s wood-frame homes to 1970s ranch-style properties, and older units especially struggle with temperature consistency. Pre-war buildings in neighborhoods near Eastside Park often have inconsistent electrical voltage running to basement appliances, which stresses freezer compressors faster than they're designed to handle. Humidity from the Passaic River valley and summertime moisture create condensation buildup inside cooling coils. Kitchens in tighter 1960s construction don't always have proper ventilation, forcing freezers to work harder in cramped spaces. Basement freezers in Paterson homes face particular challenges. The combination of damp basements and older wiring means your Frigidaire or Kenmore unit battles both moisture and electrical fluctuations. Many homes built in the 1950s and 1960s weren't designed with modern appliances in mind, so the voltage running to a basement outlet can spike or dip unpredictably. This stresses the compressor's motor windings and accelerates failure of the thermal overload protector. Paterson residents often report that their freezers work fine in winter but fail during humid summer months—that's the condenser fan struggling to shed heat when exterior moisture is high.
Common Freezer Issues in Paterson
Compressor Runs But Freezer Won't Get Cold
Your Frigidaire or Kenmore compressor is humming away, but the interior temperature creeps above 10°F. Usually this means the evaporator coil is frosted solid or the refrigerant charge has dropped. Humidity in Paterson's older homes accelerates moisture buildup inside the coil, blocking cold airflow to the freezer compartment. You'll hear the compressor cycling constantly but feel almost no cold air coming through the vents. The condenser fan might also be clogged with dust and pet hair, preventing heat from escaping the cooling system. Check if your freezer is making a weak humming sound instead of its normal rhythmic cycling—that's often the first sign the compressor is losing efficiency.
Frost Buildup on Interior Walls and Shelves
Ice accumulates in thick layers inside your Samsung or GE freezer, reducing usable space and insulating the walls so cold can't reach your food. This usually points to a defrost timer failure or a stuck defrost heater. When the defrost cycle doesn't run on schedule, melted ice refreezes instead of draining out the back. Paterson's humidity makes this problem worse because moisture in the air keeps feeding the frost cycle. The defrost drain line at the bottom of your freezer might also be frozen solid, trapping water that should exit the unit. If you see ice buildup concentrated on the back wall rather than spread evenly, the issue is almost always the defrost heater element or the timer control board failing to trigger the thaw cycle.
Door Seal Cracked or Peeling Away
The rubber gasket around your freezer door has gaps or is pulling loose from the frame, letting warm air leak in constantly. Your compressor runs nonstop trying to maintain temperature but never catches up. Older Whirlpool and Amana units in Paterson homes often develop this issue after 8–10 years because temperature swings between heated basements and cold exterior walls stress the seal material. A new gasket costs far less than replacing the compressor that's been overworked. Feel around the door seal with your hand while the freezer is running—if you detect air leakage or the gasket feels hard and brittle instead of pliable, replacement is overdue.
