JennAir refrigerators, wine columns, ice makers, dishwashers, ranges and cooktops get repaired in Port Bolivar, scheduled in advance for a day or more out. Reserve online or by phone.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach JennAir diagnostics here.
James Long made this spot his base in 1819, and Samuel D. Parr's survey of the land came in 1838. The settlement passed through Parrsville, Pepper Grove and Gabion before becoming Port Bolivar in 1893.
Beaumont got a railroad link in 1896, and the early settlers clustered around Fort Travis. Housing here runs from old to rebuilt, so we check the circuit and the cutout of whatever JennAir unit we are servicing.
Port Bolivar's water belongs to the Bolivar Peninsula Special Utility District. The district purchases treated surface water from the Lower Neches Valley Authority plant near Winnie and pipes it down the peninsula, so the town sits at the far western end of that line.
Low pressure can turn up at the tail of such a line. A JennAir ice maker may then make small or hollow cubes, so we clear the inlet screen and swap in a fresh water filter.
Wind from the channel and the Gulf, with Bolivar Roads between the town and Galveston, sprays salt over every yard. Unprotected appliance parts rust fast in it.
Condenser coils and cabinet screws in open storage areas under raised houses are the usual victims. On a JennAir freezer there, we clean the coils, replace corroded screws and test the seals.
Getting a unit to Port Bolivar usually means the free ferry from Galveston, which can have a summer wait. Raised houses add stairs to the trip.
For a JennAir wall oven or column refrigerator, plan access and doorway width ahead. A photo of the stairs and the doorway helps us bring the right gear.
The TxDOT ferry from Galveston is how we reach Port Bolivar; it is free, though summer can bring a line, so we book ahead, next-day at the earliest. The Bolivar Point Lighthouse, built in 1872 and dark since 1933, makes a handy landmark for directions. Tell us your street and where to park.
When pressure runs low, a JennAir ice maker may make small or hollow cubes and a dishwasher may fill slowly or stop with a supply error. Clean the inlet screens and swap the refrigerator water filter on time, because clogged cartridges worsen weak flow. Mention if the trouble only comes at certain hours, and call a plumber when every tap runs low.

Low pressure at the tail of the supply line is a frequent reason. Clear the inlet screen and fit a new water filter; if the cubes stay thin we test the fill valve.
We schedule these a day or more ahead because of the ferry, which can be slow in summer. A call confirms the time.
It depends. We inspect wiring and mounting, clean the coils and tell you in writing what a repair costs. A 30-day warranty covers the workmanship.
