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.
Homes around Van Buren Park and the residential streets near Ridgefield Park High School tend to have kitchens built in the 1970s and 1980s, which means a lot of them still have refrigerators that are 10+ years old. That's when compressor problems and evaporator coil ice buildup start showing up. Your LG or Samsung fridge might seem fine one day, then suddenly it's not holding 38 degrees and your milk is warm. We've seen this pattern repeat dozens of times across 07660 and the surrounding neighborhoods. The good news: most of these failures are fixable without replacing the whole unit. A bad condenser fan motor costs way less than a new refrigerator, and we can usually diagnose the problem in under an hour.
Bergen County's suburban character means most Ridgefield Park homes were built as single-family residences with standard kitchens—not much room for fancy built-ins, but plenty of standard-depth refrigerators tucked into tight spaces. The zip code 07660 covers a lot of mid-century construction, which sometimes means older electrical service and water lines that can strain newer appliances. Kitchen remodels in the area often mean swapping out old units for Bosch or KitchenAid models, and those premium brands need someone who understands their specific control boards and defrost timers. Ridgefield Park sits in a humid part of Bergen County, close enough to the Hackensack River that moisture in the air can accelerate corrosion on condenser coils—especially if your unit sits in a basement or unfinished space. We've noticed Bosch refrigerators in the area sometimes develop condenser coil rust faster than the manufacturer expects, which is why annual coil cleaning matters more here than it does inland. If you've got a Sub-Zero or Thermador model in a newly renovated kitchen, those units have sealed compressor compartments and advanced defrost cycles that need brand-certified diagnostics. Standard GE or Frigidaire models handle the Ridgefield Park climate fine, but they still benefit from proper maintenance.
Common Refrigerator Issues in Ridgefield Park
Compressor Running Constantly, Fridge Still Warm
That constant humming sound means your compressor is working overtime but not actually cooling. Usually it's a failing condenser fan or a refrigerant leak in the evaporator coil. Samsung and LG models around Ridgefield Park often develop this around the 8-10 year mark. The compressor itself might be fine, but if the condenser fan isn't spinning, airflow stops and cooling fails. You might also notice the compressor cycles on and off every few minutes instead of running in steady 20-30 minute intervals—that's a sign the thermostat is confused about the actual temperature inside the box. If refrigerant is actually leaking from the evaporator coil, you'll see frost buildup on the back wall and hear the compressor strain harder. Don't ignore this one. The longer a compressor runs without proper cooling, the hotter it gets internally, and that leads to motor burnout.
Ice Buildup on Back Wall, Water Pooling at Bottom
Your defrost timer or thermostat is stuck, so the evaporator coil freezes solid and ice blocks the drain. Water that should flow to the drain pan instead pools under the crisper drawers. Bosch refrigerators in the area sometimes develop this when the automatic defrost cycle gets stuck. You'll notice it first as a thin sheet of ice creeping across the back wall. Most modern refrigerators cycle through a defrost phase every 8-10 hours, where the compressor shuts off and a heating element briefly warms the evaporator coil to melt accumulated frost. If that heating element burns out or the defrost timer fails, the coil stays frozen. The drain line that runs from the back of the fridge down to the drain pan gets blocked by ice, so water backs up. KitchenAid and premium LG models have electronic defrost boards instead of mechanical timers—those can fail too, and the symptoms look identical. This is fixable, but it needs the right diagnosis first.
Ice Maker Stopped Working, But Fridge Still Cold
The ice maker assembly or water inlet valve has failed. Your KitchenAid or mid-range LG can keep food cold just fine while the ice maker sits silent. The inlet valve controls water flow to the ice maker, and if it clogs or fails electrically, no water reaches the mold. This is separate from the main cooling system, so you get cold food but no ice. Sometimes the ice maker motor itself burns out after years of cycling, or the fill tube gets blocked by mineral deposits—Ridgefield Park's water has moderate hardness that can build up over time. If you see water leaking from inside the ice maker compartment, the inlet valve is likely stuck open or the water line connection is loose. The ice maker assembly can run $200-400 in parts depending on the brand, but a water inlet valve replacement is usually $150-250 and solves the problem 70% of the time.
