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.
Chestnut Street runs through downtown Westwood, and the colonials and split-levels spreading out through the rest of 07675 have been running GE and Whirlpool refrigerators for three or four decades in many cases. That kind of age means condenser coils caked with dust, thermostats reading a few degrees off, and compressors working harder than they should just to hold temperature. Most calls we get from Westwood come in after food has already spoiled — which means the problem started days earlier, often with a defrost timer that quietly failed without tripping a single obvious error. Same-day service available most weekdays.
The housing stock in Westwood's 07675 zip skews toward 1950s and 1960s colonials on streets off Kinderkamack Road, with newer construction near the community park areas on the north end of the borough. Older homes here have electrical panels that weren't sized for modern refrigerators running variable-speed compressors and ice maker assemblies simultaneously — that stress shortens control board life faster than normal wear would. The newer sections closer to the borough center tend to have larger french-door models, which develop condenser fan motor failures more frequently in Bergen County's humid summers. Bergen County municipal water also runs hard enough that mineral deposits in water inlet valves are a repeat issue on any Westwood refrigerator with a water dispenser or ice maker.
Common Refrigerator Issues in Westwood
Refrigerator Running Warm but Freezer Still Cold
This symptom almost always points to a failed defrost heater. The evaporator coil behind the freezer panel frosts over completely, blocking all airflow into the refrigerator section — freezer stays cold because the evaporator is right there, but fresh food climbs toward 50°F. GE and Amana units from the late 1990s through early 2000s are the most common culprits in Westwood's older homes. Replacing the defrost heater and defrost timer together runs $160-220 and typically fixes it in one visit.
Ice Maker Stopped Producing Ice
Samsung french-door models see this constantly — Bergen County's water supply has enough mineral content to seize up the water inlet valve over time, cutting off fill cycles entirely. The ice maker assembly just sits dry. Whirlpool side-by-sides have a different failure point: the fill tube freezes solid, especially during cold months when kitchen temperatures drop near exterior walls. Both repairs take under an hour if the control board hasn't been damaged by secondary water intrusion.
Water Pooling on the Kitchen Floor
Frigidaire and Kenmore bottom-freezer refrigerators are the ones we see most on these calls in Westwood. The condensate drain line clogs with food particles and mineral scale, overflows the drip pan, and water works its way to the floor. A deteriorated door gasket makes things worse — warm air gets in, frost builds faster, and the defrost cycle runs harder and more often. Drain line cleaning plus a new gasket is usually a single-visit repair, and it stops the floor damage before it reaches the subfloor.
