The Gorenje refrigerator is the brainchild of a Slovenian company that has earned decent success in the international home appliance market. The brand owes this to designers and engineers who promote the latest ideas and technologies. We bring to your attention a review of Gorenie refrigeration equipment with a description of models from various rulers.
Where Gorenje equipment is assembled
Often, the country of manufacture of refrigerators sold on the domestic market is Slovenia, but occasionally variants made in Serbia may come across. There is already a representative office in Russia.
The main efforts and developments are invested in the popular two-chamber devices with an upper or lower freezer. For the company, this is a narrowing of the target audience, but for the buyers themselves a big plus - after all, engineers are concentrated on every little thing, bringing their developments to impeccable quality.
In each line you can find different models in terms of cost and design. Our review includes the most worthy options from the "Burning".
Benefits of Gorenje Refrigerators
Ion air
The technology creates ideal storage conditions for products using negatively charged ions. They destroy up to 95% of pathogenic microbes, eliminate odors and dust particles, while regulating the humidity in the cells. All this positively affects the shelf life of products and the preservation of their freshness.
Multi Flow 360 °
This system provides intensive air circulation through the chambers. The compartments are provided with 14 ventilation openings to maintain a uniform temperature in all parts and on all shelves. In conjunction with Ion Air, the system is installed in all models with the latest generation No Frost - together they create a healthy environment for storing food.
Adapt tech
Sensory technology that can "remember" your habits for a week and mark the most active periods of using the technique. By calculating these periods and making a template, the system lowers the temperature before intensive use of the refrigerator. This protects the cameras from raising the temperature when you often start to open the door. It also has a beneficial effect on the freshness of products.
Energy Saving A ++
The impressive volume of compartments should not spill over into huge electricity bills. Therefore, engineers improved the insulation layer, reinforced the seal, complementing the design of some models with an inverter compressor to reduce costs. Thus, models of the energy efficiency class A ++ consume up to 40% less than class A analogues.
No frost plus
This is not just “Know Frost”, but an improved version that helps reduce freezing time to a minimum. This technology is one of the best cooling systems on the market, recognized by experts and users. Thanks to No Frost Plus, ice and snow "fur coat" do not accumulate in the freezer, and the optimal temperature regime is maintained in the main compartment. Products do not dry out, retaining their nutritional value and beneficial properties.
Mini bar
Of course, it’s difficult to call this shelf a bar, but it is designed specifically for bottles that are best stored horizontally so as not to clutter up the space.
Crisp zone
It is a large box for vegetables and fruits. The slider provided in the design of the container allows you to control humidity and create optimal storage conditions.
Simple slide
These are shelves designed for both small cans and large bottles. They are easily adjustable in height and can withstand an impressive weight of up to 5 pounds.
Touch control
Premium segment refrigerators are equipped with an interactive touch screen that can be adjusted to any language convenient for you.
Frostless
The technology reduces the likelihood of frosting the walls with frost or ice, and the need for manual defrosting is less common. It is also one of the energy-saving developments.
Slot in
Special option for built-in refrigerators. The design of the door is such that when embedding it can be opened at an angle of 90 degrees. This will make it easy to get shelves, containers, boxes. Slot In is especially convenient when the refrigerator is in close proximity to other household appliances.
Dynami cooling
This system with a special fan maintains a static temperature inside the case. Together with Ion Air it provides a microclimate close to natural conditions, while eliminating germs and odors. All basic models from the latest lines have a complex of these two technologies.
Space Box XXL
According to the manufacturers, even a huge turkey will fit in this box. Also, you can safely put large meat pieces, a whole pizza or cake.
Snack bin
In this box you can safely place products that are prone to quick drying - cheeses, cold meats, fresh sandwiches, pastes, margarine and butter. The container is complemented by a tight lid that does not allow excess air to pass through.
Inverter type compressor
Refrigerators equipped with an inverter motor operate almost silently and last several times longer than conventional ones. Another plus is that they consume less electricity.
Xtreme freeze
Instant freezing or, as we used to call it, “super freezing”. By turning it on and placing food in a special compartment, you freeze them twice as fast. The process takes place at -30 degrees, so the quality of frozen products is also many times higher. It is possible to automatically turn off the option after 24 hours, after which the temperature marks return to normal.
LED backlight
Most models have LED backlighting for organic and economical lighting. LED bulbs are much more efficient than any other - they last longer and consume few resources.
Eco mode
Going on vacation? In order not to unload all the frosts and not turn off the equipment, set it to energy saving mode (the main thing is that no one opens the door in your absence).
Of course, this is not the whole list of technologies and options that modern Gorenje refrigerators are equipped with.

Sergei
Is this a reliable freezer? I will say from my own experience: yes. Compact size, there is a quick freeze, it holds a lot. Of the minuses, only noise. And the price is good.
Oleg
I did not get the Slovenian assembly. Deciphered the marking - it turned out that it was made in Serbia. Here are those on! It freezes well in principle, but noisy. If compared with the former two-compressor “Indesit” (worked for almost 13 years), then this baby is noisy, probably 2 times stronger. Also, the relay clicks, the wife always flinches with surprise. The motor turned out to be Chinese, which is why it is noisy. Fat plus - steel boxes.

Vasiliy
I bought Gorenje NRK 6201 MX exclusively on reviews. I only use it for a month, and during this time there was no noise, as others wrote. Maybe I just have a very flat floor (tile), or I got the Slovenian assembly. The lack of silver color. Rather, I myself wanted this color, but I did not know how spots and fingerprints would look on it. It’s my fault. Otherwise, everything is super: both ergonomics and quality.
Anna
Buying a refrigerator turned into a quest for me: I had to keep it at 30K, so that there was Nou Frost so that the color was NOT WHITE (this is important), that the inside did not smell like dead plastic rats, and that, if anything, it could be repaired. That is, it was important to find not foamed, so that it was easy to repair. Although it is noisy, it is reliable. The engine is not Chinese (husband said). For such an amount - one of the best options on the market.
Typical Malfunctions of Gorenje Refrigerators
We cannot ignore the possible malfunctions of the Gorenie technique. Masters of service centers report that the most common failures are:
- The motor-compressor does not work or rarely starts.
- The compressor, on the contrary, does not turn off, it works continuously.
- The lamp (or beeping) of the open door flashes or lights up - it is closed.
- Wet insulation layer.
- Damage to the thermostat.
- Violation of the relay mounting.
- Breakdown of the starting protective relay.
- The temperature in one of the chambers is too high or the entire refrigerator is not freezing.
- Damage to the electronic circuit (control module).
- Products in the main chamber freeze or ice freezes in the freezer.
- The display does not work.
- The refrigerator is broken, does not turn on at all.
To find out what caused the breakdown in each particular case, it is worth calling a master diagnostician. After the cause of the failure has been identified, maintenance or repair should be carried out: minor or major. The “Combustion” technique is easily repairable, and it pleases. The main thing is to turn to trusted professionals.
Review Summary
The opinion about the Gorenje brand and its products is developing positively: it looks high-quality, user reviews are mostly positive, and the possible breakdowns listed above should be eliminated. These refrigerators deserve a place of honor in your kitchen.
