Models with two cooling zones

The Siemens two-chamber version has various modifications: it can be both stationary and built-in models. Equipment may vary in size, color scheme and design. All new XNUMX-compartment refrigerators have a bottom freezer. It’s trendy now to release interesting designs like Side-by-Side, and Siemens is no exception.

The built-in options successfully combine spaciousness with compactness. Such designs fit perfectly into the interior of the kitchen. To embed the device, you will need a cabinet of the appropriate size or only a decorative facade, behind which the door is hidden.

Roberta Bosch technology

For the long-term preservation of products, maintaining their freshness, preserving taste, nutritional value and attractive appearance, a lot of developments are being created. They allow you to adjust the humidity, temperature and other cooling parameters.

Freshness systems are individual developments of the company, they have no equal among analogues in terms of the quality of food storage and the level of performance. Such systems include Cool Box, Hydro Fresh Box, Vita Fresh.

The compressor with minimum energy consumption is designed not only for long-term operation without failures, but in order not to harm the environment. Models with such motors belong to the A + and A ++ energy efficiency classes, which means that they are also economical.

Forgot to close the door? This is fraught with a large consumption of electricity and the risk of a serious malfunction. The engineers found the optimal solution by installing special Fresch Sense sensors in the cameras.

The No Frost system makes defrosting the freezer automatic. Full “No Frost” involves auto-defrosting two compartments at once. The operation of the system is based on fans that displace moisture into a special compartment where it evaporates. This does not allow frost or ice to freeze on the walls, so frequent defrosting is not expected.

The Air Freshch Filter or antibacterial filter helps to clean the air from bacteria and unpleasant odors.

LED lightening. LED lamps are an economical and pleasant soft illumination of all shelves.

Telescopic rails make it easy to pull out and put shelves and drawers in place.

Functional

The main functions that facilitate the operation of equipment:

  • “Weekend” or Holiday (“Holiday”) – saves energy costs without disconnecting the device from electricity. At the same time, the temperature in the refrigerator is +14 degrees, but you need to get all the products. The freezer freezes normally.
  • Option “Lock” or Lock: locks the control panel from accidental pressing. Generic title: “Child Protection”.
  • Alarm – triggered when the door is opened for more than 1 minute. It also squeaks when the temperature marks in the freezer rise and at the end of the “Quick Chill” cycle.
  • “Supercooling” – a mode that involves reducing the temperature in the main compartment to +2 degrees. It starts for 6 hours when the chamber is fully loaded with fresh, uncooled products.
  • “Super Freeze”: similar mode, but in the freezer. With this function, you get perfectly frozen products. In the process of such processing, they retain their properties and taste.
  • Eco Mode – special hanging shelves for placing bottles.

Some models are equipped with cold accumulators, which help maintain the temperature gained by the compartments in the event of a power outage. You can also take the battery with you to cool food in the picnic box, etc.

That’s what “Made in Germany” means – you can immediately see the quality. Everything is assembled and adjusted to the millimeter. Like LED lighting and electronics are very convenient. For a large family it would be small, but for one or two people – that’s it.

Michael

Used the refrigerator for 2 weeks. During this time, he froze perfectly, worked very quietly and it was convenient to place all the products. But then it broke. They said the board was blown. The issue was resolved in the service for a very long time – for more than a month they were looking for the right board, but then they replaced it for free. Now I’m constantly afraid that some other breakdown will pop up.

Malvina

So we bought this huge tall refrigerator with a great display! I like the hanging shelf for bottles – we cool wine and juices on it. There are different temperature zones – in one I store vegetables and fruits, in the other – fish and meat. A cool thing is a hanging butter dish, and you can store cheeses or cottage cheese in it, and not just butter. The filter filters for 5 points – no foreign odors. The downside is that the amount of plastic parts rolls over.

Sergei

Got a very noisy machine. Although everyone writes that it “works quietly”, for some reason this is not the case for me. He crackled, growled and even gurgled. In general, it constantly buzzes and makes all sorts of strange sounds. You can hear it all the way to the outermost room. I am not satisfied.

Important! Noise is not always a breakdown. Take a look at the instructions – there is a diagram of the correct installation of the cabinet (on a flat surface and level).

Karina

The father-in-law made a gift for the print wedding: an excellent large two-chamber Siemens refrigerator. This particular model is KG49NSB21. So far, he is our guest, we are not used to it yet. But I’m already excited. The black and silver case, covered with glass, made the kitchen stylish – as if the wallpaper had been re-pasted. All functions are useful, especially supercooling. Doesn’t take much electricity. Great gift: Ilona Semyonovna and Sergey Danilovich, thank you again!

Typical malfunctions of Siemens refrigerators

Each brand is most prone to some of its malfunctions. We offer to understand typical Siemens failures.

Breakdowns can be simple or complex:

  • The compressor does not start.
  • Noisy too much.
  • Electronics breaks down.
  • No Frost does not work.
  • Refrigerant leaking.

If the control module is broken, “Alarm” or other lights flash or light on the user panel, more often in a chaotic manner. You need to flash (adjust) or replace the part. Also, the failure is expressed in the fact that the freezer does not freeze or the main chamber does not cool, the motor operation is short, and the “rest” is long. However, there is light inside. The smell of burning and the sound signal are also not excluded.

The compressor may stop working due to a power surge. Failure of this element requires replacement – the motor cannot be repaired. Symptoms of a breakdown are relay clicks from the rear wall, case overheating. Another possible reason is the short circuit of the winding.

RџSЂRё freon leak one camera quickly loses its performance, then the second one also stops working. You can sometimes determine the leak visually – a thick layer of frost is growing on the back wall. A call to the master is required to fix the leak, fill and seal the system.

Summary. Siemens refrigerators are German quality appliances assembled according to strict standards. By this they have earned the recognition of users all over the world, including in Russia. Reviews only confirm our opinion. But the choice is always yours. And from breakdowns will save compliance with the rules of operation. Enjoy the shopping!
