The Haier refrigerator is made by a Chinese company. If you have a sharply negative attitude towards Asian goods, do not rush to leave the page. We will convince you that Hayer equipment is worthy of your choice, especially since it is also produced at Russian factories. Benefits, model range and pricing – we will consider all this below.
About Us
The company was founded in the mid-90s, by now the equipment is sold in more than 160 countries around the world. Takes pride of place among the hundred most influential brands in the world.
As we said above, China is not the only country producing this brand of equipment. Not so long ago, the 100th Russian-made Haier refrigerator rolled off the assembly line. The company’s plant is located in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny.
Next year, the project management plans to increase the production capacity of the plant to 500 units per year. The main products are refrigerators for home and life with the No Frost function. They are sold mainly in the Russian Federation, but are also exported to the CIS countries and the European Union.
Advantages of Haier Refrigerators
Conducting research and getting to know the opinion of consumers, the company’s specialists found out the specifics of the use of refrigerators in Russia. For example, this is the habit of storing food in bulky and bulky dishes – pots, pans, stewpans, baking sheets, etc. With this in mind, Haier designed and created three-chamber models with impressive volume and high energy efficiency.
Another habit of Russian consumers – to store different products separately – prompted engineers to create devices with manual adjustment of departments to different operating modes. These include the freshness zone and the “zero” zone, as well as the mode for compartments for vegetables and fruits.
Features:
- By correctly setting the temperature in the “zero” zone, you can maintain the absolute freshness of fish and meat products for some time.
- Setting the temperature zone for fruits and vegetables also allows you to use a divider to distribute food rationally.
Other Features
Design features and additional functionality directly depend on the type of refrigerator. All Hayer refrigerators can be divided into two categories: two-door (2D basic and 2D Combi) and 3D – three-door options.
2D Combi models include a huge list of modern features and technologies:
- Total No Frost – a system that prevents ice or frost from forming on the walls of the chambers. Such a microclimate is supported by fans that provide constant circulation of cooled air flows through the compartments. Total literally translates as “as a whole” and in this case means “full No Frost”. The technology works in both cameras.
- Dynamic cooling Multi Flow allows you to precisely adjust the temperature in the main compartment to prolong the freshness of the products. Air currents reach them from all sides.
- Touch Control with a display on the door of the housing allows you not only to set and adjust the temperature, but also with one touch to launch the options: “Super-cooling”, “Super-freezing”, “Vacation”, turn on the child lock.
- 21 liter adjustable freshness zone with a temperature range from -2 to +3 degrees.
Important! Find out, what is the freshness zone in the refrigerator, from our separate article.
- Innovative antibacterial module T.ABT. The principle of its work is based on tourmaline. This is a crystal that can generate a charge of electricity during cooling or heating. At the same time, the charge is negative at one end of the crystal, and positive at the other. Tourmaline contributes to the ionization of the air in the chamber – this kills most pathogenic bacteria, fungus and mold spores, and unpleasant odors.
- Ergonomic interior compartments. Folding shelves are great for storing large items, and a foldable rack holds up to 5 bottles. The shelves are made of tempered glass, so they can easily withstand weights up to 25 kg. All shelves are edged – this is done not only for aesthetic reasons, but also so that accidentally spilled water or milk does not spill onto other shelves.
- The door can be easily opened 90 degreesto get the vegetable container. Why is it convenient? Because in most models of other manufacturers there is no such balcony, so you have to open the door too much to remove the box. This is especially inconvenient in a small kitchen. With a door that opens to 90 degrees, there will be no such problems!
- The most silent and reliable motor-compressors with a 12-year warranty.
Models from the Combi 2D series have high-quality thermal insulation, technological assembly with control of each stage, high energy efficiency, etc. All of the above also affected the energy consumption class of equipment, which is not lower than A +.
The more budgetary 2D Basic series differs from the complete set in energy efficiency (class A). In such refrigerators there is no antibacterial technology, there is no “Fresh Zone” and there is no folding shelf for bottles.
Series 3D
Special design. The case provides for three doors at once, hence the name of the series – 3D. At the top is the main compartment, below – two independent freezers. Freezers have drawers. This is a fairly successful design for quick and easy loading and unloading of products. Separate storage of vegetables and fruits, fish and meat does not allow smells to mix – no more strawberries with the smell of fish.
The multi-door body looks unique – no other manufacturer has yet dared to release equipment in a similar design. Another plus is that the line has a wide color range. Telescopic rails allow you to pull out the drawers without difficulty even when fully loaded. They are also easy to care for and clean.
Other functions, options and technologies are identical to models from the 2D combi series – there is a full No Frost, Multi Flow, touch panel, zero zone, A + energy efficiency, etc.
Additionally
foam condenser
A foamed condenser is one of the advantages of refrigerators from the 2D and 3D series produced in the Russian Federation. It is a heat exchanger located on the side of the rear wall of the housing. The condenser is responsible for the transfer of heat from the products to the environment.
The foam type design is not only visually pleasing, but also eliminates the noise effect during compressor start-up (non-foamed capacitors can rattle from vibration). And also during the movement of the refrigerator, there is no risk of injury from the sharp protrusions of the part.
Ecological cleanliness
This principle is implemented even at the stage of production of equipment. The classical painting of the hull uses a technology that does not pollute the water.
Durable materials
The production uses polystyrene with impact properties, which is highly resistant to external influences, accumulation of dirt and cracking during contact with oils. This material is different from what most manufacturers use (standard polystyrene, etc.).
Less noise, more elegance
Such qualities are given to the refrigerated cabinet by a metal back wall, which hides all the details behind it and protects the ears of users from noise when starting the engine.
Pascal
This is not a computer programming language at all, but a foaming technology. Haier was the first to apply it in Russia. The essence of the technology is the uniform distribution of foam in order to minimize the thermal conductivity.
Strict control
Absolutely all refrigerators pass the functional test. The check consists in turning on the equipment in the network and its operation for 20-60 minutes (only 2 stages at the factory). The third check is selective – it is carried out directly at the warehouse.
Careful packaging
Haier factories pack automatically, not by hand. In addition, the equipment is not wrapped in a film so that the equipment is protected from damage during transportation. Only cardboard packaging guarantees reliability.

Very large and roomy with convenient shelves. Practically does not make noise, installation under the wall is available. The temperature setting is intuitive, nothing complicated. Before that, I thought which one is better: Greetings, Bosch, Samsung or Haier, but chose the latter. Maybe the build quality of German and Korean technology is a little better, but Hayer wins in terms of cost. Moreover, in Algy and Samsung, when you open the door, there is a strong smell of plastic, but this one does not smell at all. There are disadvantages: heating of the side walls (there are capacitors in them) and few rails for adjusting the door shelves. The rest is super, I put a solid four.
Oleg, Vyksa
Quiet inverter motor. Great build! If it was cheaper, it would be the best of its kind. But even at this price, it’s the coolest thing I’ve found. The device itself has a 3-year warranty, and the compressor has a 12-year warranty. There is no smell inside.

Andrey, Syzran
I have long wanted a built-in refrigerator for myself – as soon as I found out how much the Hiers cost, I immediately picked up this model. Freezes qualitatively, there is no frost and ice. In terms of spaciousness, of course, it is modest, but the functionality is excellent, I like everything.
Alina, Moscow
I bought it because it is beautiful and roomy. I don’t need a big freezer, so it’s enough. The instructions clearly say how to set the temperature – I did not suffer for a long time. A year later, a heart-rending squeak was heard from the control panel, and the refrigerator turned off. You have to go to the service. Therefore, to say exactly whether it is worth buying Haier, I won’t tell.
Malfunctions and repair of Haier refrigerators
The Haier brand is not so widespread, so not every workshop can provide professional repairs.
Masters of service centers note that there are models that cannot be repaired, which is due to the assembly of equipment. This means that some parts require a complete replacement. Fortunately, there are few such breakdowns, and the rest are eliminated in the same way as in the technique of other brands.
Typical breakdowns of Haier refrigerators are as follows:
- The electronics that most models are equipped with are sensitive to frequent voltage drops. Also, electronic circuits are vulnerable if the rules of use are not followed.
Important! Opening the door too far can break the wiring harness that connects the display to the electronic board.
- Breakdowns associated with the motor-compressor: the start relay does not work, the compressor has broken, etc.
- Burnout of the control board, switches and other microcircuits.
Also, users complain about such and malfunctions:
- the freezer does not freeze;
- refrigerator does not work;
- the side walls heat up (if the walls do not heat up much, this is not a breakdown);
- the motor is too hot;
- technology is noisy;
- the red alarm lamp is constantly on;
- the refrigerator completely stopped cooling, etc.
To find out why the device does not cool, to diagnose and repair it, you should contact the official warranty service center or a trusted workshop at the end of the warranty card.
