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.
Smith Street, New Brunswick Avenue, and the blocks fanning out through 08861 see a lot of working households running laundry back-to-back every night. That Samsung front-load dryer sitting in a cramped utility closet doesn't get a break. When it stops heating or starts squealing mid-cycle, clothes pile up fast — and Perth Amboy's humid summers near the Raritan Bay waterfront make air-drying a bad backup plan. Boost Appliance Service handles dryer repairs across the city, usually same-day.
Most of the housing stock in Perth Amboy is older — a lot of two-family homes and row houses built between the 1940s and 1970s, especially around the 08861 zip code near Sadowski Parkway and the Raritan Bay waterfront. Tight utility rooms, shared laundry hookups, and aging 240V outlets are common. That kind of electrical setup puts extra stress on control boards and heating elements, especially in newer LG and Whirlpool units that weren't designed with older wiring in mind.
Common Dryer Issues in Perth Amboy
Thermal Fuse Failures From Restricted Airflow in Older Homes
Older Perth Amboy homes often have short, kinked, or partially blocked exhaust vents — sometimes venting into a wall cavity instead of outside. That restriction causes heat to back up, and the thermal fuse blows to protect the machine. Samsung and Whirlpool dryers are especially prone to this. Replacing the fuse is quick, but if the vent isn't cleared, it blows again within weeks.
Drum Not Spinning — Worn Drive Belt or Failed Idler Pulley
A dryer that hums but won't tumble usually has a snapped drive belt or a seized idler pulley. Heavy use in multi-person households — common in the denser residential blocks around Elm Street — wears these parts faster than average. LG gas dryers in particular tend to show this failure after five to seven years of daily loads.
No Heat on GE and Whirlpool Units — Heating Element or Gas Valve Igniter
Cold air tumbling clothes for 90 minutes and nothing drying — that's usually a burned-out heating element on electric models or a faulty gas valve igniter on gas dryers. GE Profile units and older Whirlpool gas dryers show up on our calls regularly with this exact issue. The fix is straightforward once we confirm whether it's the igniter, the coils, or the thermal cutoff.

Do you repair Samsung and LG dryers in Perth Amboy?▼
