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 an overview of Gorenie refrigeration equipment with a description of models from various lines.
Where Gorenje equipment is assembled
Often, the country of origin of refrigerators sold on the domestic market is Slovenia, but occasionally there may be options made in Serbia. The company already has a representative office in Russia.
The main efforts and developments have been invested in the popular two-chamber appliances with a top or bottom freezer. For the company, this is a narrowing of the target audience, but for the buyers themselves, a big plus is that the engineers are focused on every little thing, bringing their developments to impeccable quality.
In each line you can find models of different cost and design. Our review includes the most worthy options from “Burning”.
Advantages of Gorenje refrigerators
Ion Air
The technology creates ideal conditions for food storage with the help of negatively charged ions. They destroy up to 95% of pathogenic microbes, eliminate odors and dust particles, while regulating the humidity in the chambers. All this has a positive effect on 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 have 14 ventilation holes to maintain a uniform temperature in all parts and on all shelves. In combination with Ion Air, the system is installed in all models with No Frost of the latest generation – together they create a healthy environment for food storage.
Adapt Tech
Sensor technology that can “remember” your habits for the week and mark the most active periods of use of technology. By calculating these periods and creating a pattern, the system lowers the temperature before intensive use of the refrigerator. This prevents the chambers from rising in temperature when you open the door frequently. It also has a beneficial effect on the freshness of products.
Energy Saving A++
The impressive volume of compartments should not result in huge electricity bills. Therefore, engineers have improved the insulation layer, strengthened the seal, supplementing the design of some models with an inverter compressor to reduce costs. Thus, models of energy efficiency class A ++ consume up to 40% less than class A counterparts.
Well Frost Plus
This is not just No Frost, but an improved version that helps to 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 “coat” do not accumulate in the freezer, and the main compartment maintains an optimal temperature regime. Products do not dry out, retaining their nutritional value and beneficial properties.
Mini bar
Of course, it is difficult to call this shelf a bar, but it is designed specifically for bottles, which 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 the humidity and create optimal storage conditions.
Simple Slide
These are shelves designed for both small jars and large bottles. They are easily adjustable in height and can withstand an impressive weight – up to 5 kilos.
Touch Control
Premium refrigerators are equipped with a touch interactive display that can be configured in any language convenient for you.
Frostless
The technology reduces the likelihood of frost or ice freezing on the walls, and the need for manual defrosting is less frequent. 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 built in, 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 close to other household appliances.
Dynami Cooling
This system maintains a static temperature inside the case with a special fan. Together with Ion Air, it provides a microclimate close to natural conditions, while eliminating germs and odors. All base models from the latest lines have a combination of these two technologies.
Space Box XXL
In this box, according to the manufacturers, even a huge turkey will fit. Also, you can safely put large meat pieces, a whole pizza or cake there.
Snack Bin
Foods that tend to dry out quickly can be safely placed in this box – cheeses, sausages, fresh sandwiches, pates, margarine and butter. The container is equipped with a tight lid that does not allow excess air to pass through.
Inverter compressor
Refrigerators equipped with an inverter motor operate almost silently and last many times longer than conventional ones. Another plus is that they consume less electricity.
Xtreme Freeze
Instant freezing or, as we used to call it, “superfreeze”. By turning it on and placing food in a special compartment, you will freeze them twice as fast. The process takes place at -30 degrees, so the quality of frozen products is also many times higher. The option is automatically turned off after 24 hours, after which the temperature marks return to normal.
LED-backlight
Most models have built-in LED-type 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 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 freezer reliable? I’ll tell you from my experience: yes. Compact size, there is a quick freeze, it holds a lot. The only downside is the noise. And the price is good.
Oleg
I got a non-Slovenian assembly. I deciphered the marking – it turned out that it was made in Serbia. Here are those on! Freezes in principle well, but noisy. When compared with the former two-compressor Indesit (it worked for almost 13 years), then this little one is probably 2 times more noisy. Also, the relay clicks, the wife always shudders in surprise. The motor turned out to be Chinese, which is why it makes noise. Bold plus – steel boxes.

Basil
I bought Gorenje NRK 6201 MX exclusively by reviews. I have only been using it for a month, and during this time there was no noise, as others have written. Maybe I just have a very flat floor (tiles) or I just got the Slovenian assembly. Lack of silver. Or rather, I myself wanted such a color, but did not know how smudges and fingerprints would look on it. Himself to blame. Otherwise, everything is super: both ergonomics and quality.
Anna
Buying a refrigerator turned into a quest for me: it was necessary to meet 30K, while having No Frost, so that the color is NOT WHITE (this is important), so that the inside does not smell of dead plastic rats, and so that, if anything, it can be repaired. That is, it was important to find one that was not foamy, so that it was easy to repair. Although it is noisy, it is reliable. The engine is not Chinese (husband said). For the price, this is one of the best options on the market.
Typical malfunctions of Gorenje refrigerators
It is impossible to ignore the possible malfunctions of the Burning equipment. Service center masters report that the most common breakdowns are as follows:
- The motor-compressor does not work or rarely starts.
- The compressor, on the contrary, does not turn off, it works continuously.
- The light is flashing or on (or beeping signal) of the open door – it is closed at the same time.
- Wetting of the thermal insulation layer.
- Breakdown of the thermostat.
- Relay mounting failure.
- Breakdown of the starting protective relay.
- The temperature in one of the chambers is too high or the entire refrigerator does not freeze.
- Breakdown of the electronic circuit (control module).
- Food freezes in the main compartment or ice builds up in the freezer.
- The display does not work.
- Refrigerator is broken and won’t turn on at all.
To find out what caused the breakdown in each particular case, it is worth calling the master diagnostician. After the causes of the breakdown are found, maintenance or repairs should be carried out: minor or major. Technique “Burning” is easy to repair, and it pleases. The main thing is to contact trusted specialists.
