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.
Passaic County tap water runs hard — mineral scale inside a Whirlpool or GE ice maker builds up fast, coating the water inlet valve until flow drops to almost nothing. Paterson's older brick rowhouses near Great Falls and along the Broadway corridor carry the same problem in their supply lines. No ice production or small hollow cubes are usually the first complaint, and those symptoms point to a clogged fill valve or frozen fill tube the majority of the time. Call (201) 355-0199 — most days we're in Paterson by early afternoon and can usually get to 07501 or 07503 the same day you call.
Most housing in the 07501 and 07503 zip codes dates from the 1920s to 1950s — dense brick multi-families and attached rowhouses with narrow kitchens. Refrigerator water lines in these units often run longer distances to reach the ice maker, and old galvanized plumbing delivers inconsistent pressure that stresses the inlet valve over time. Out in the 07513 and 07522 areas, mid-century ranch-style homes have more room, but the plumbing is still 50-60 years old. Paterson's Eastside and Totowa Avenue neighborhoods see a lot of Frigidaire and Kenmore top-freezers — appliances that were bought new, ran for a decade, and are now on their second or third inlet valve. Sandy Hill and parts near Garrett Mountain have a similar mix. Hard water accelerates every failure in those machines. The ice maker assembly, the water line, the door gasket seal around the bin — mineral deposits shorten everything.
Common Ice Maker Issues in Paterson
Mineral Deposits Blocking the Water Inlet Valve
Paterson's water hardness — above the state average in older pipe systems — leaves calcium buildup inside the water inlet valve fast. On a GE or Frigidaire side-by-side, this valve is the first thing to check when ice production drops. Flow restricts, the ice maker assembly cycles but fills only partially, and cubes come out small and misshapen. Valve replacement is typically a two-hour job in Paterson rowhouses, slightly longer when the refrigerator is wedged into a galley kitchen with limited clearance. A Kenmore 106-series with a corroded solenoid on the valve is a common call on the Westside — same fix, same parts, just tighter quarters.
Frozen Fill Tube Behind the Freezer Wall
In Paterson's older brick buildings around 07501, exterior kitchen walls lose heat fast in winter. The thin plastic fill tube running to the ice maker can freeze solid — Samsung french-door models are particularly prone because the tube runs near the back evaporator coil area. Ice production stops entirely. Thawing the line takes about 20 minutes; replacing a cracked tube adds another 30. On Whirlpool models the symptom sometimes shows up as an E1 or F8 fault on the display before the tube is fully blocked — that's an early warning that the freezer compartment temperature is cycling too warm.
Optical Sensor Failure Inside the Ice Maker Module
Amana and Whirlpool refrigerators built between 2012 and 2018 have a recurring issue: the optical sensor inside the ice maker assembly reads the bin as full when it's completely empty. No ice comes out, but there's no error code on the display either. Owners in the Eastside neighborhood and along Rosa Parks Boulevard call us for exactly this. Replacing the ice maker module fixes it permanently. Parts for these Amana units are common enough that the repair usually happens on the first visit — no waiting a week for a special order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Paterson for an ice maker fix?▼
Paterson is a regular stop — most weekdays we can reach 07501 or 07503 within an hour of your call. Parking near downtown and the Great Falls Historic District can be tight, but residential side streets in Sandy Hill and the Eastside are usually manageable. Evening slots are available for residents who work during the day. Call (201) 355-0199 for same-day scheduling.
Do you repair GE and Samsung refrigerators in Paterson?▼
GE side-by-sides, Samsung french-door units, and Whirlpool top-freezers are the three we see most in Paterson. Typical jobs: water inlet valve on GE, ice maker assembly module on Samsung (that module tends to fail around year four or five), frozen fill tube on Whirlpool. Frigidaire and Kenmore are close behind. Parts for all of them usually ride in the van, so most Paterson jobs close on the first visit.
What does fixing an ice maker typically cost in Paterson?▼
Flat-rate diagnosis, no hourly billing surprises. Most repairs — inlet valve swap, sensor replacement, frozen line fix — run $120–$250 parts and labor combined. Same-day and evening slots are available for Paterson residents who can't take a morning off. Schedule online or call (201) 355-0199.
