Decoding of marking of refrigerators in different models

Information on the parameters of these devices is encrypted in the labeling of various models of refrigerators. There are no general marking standards; each manufacturer has its own way of presenting information. Knowing the markings will help you quickly find the best purchase option among the products of your chosen brand. To use all the functionality of the refrigerator, you must also know the meaning of the inscriptions and names of the buttons on the display of the household appliance.

The name code of any refrigerator model includes alphanumeric characters with information about the functional features of the product. In this way, manufacturers give potential buyers the opportunity to find out how this particular refrigerator differs from other models of their brand.

Decoding models Bosch

The marking of the Bosch KGV 36XL20 R model, made in Russia in 2012, carries information on the equipment, functions, dimensions and design of the refrigerator.

The first character indicates the type of refrigerator: "K" - refrigerator; letter «G " in the first place in the labeling means household freezer the camera.

Symbols in second place indicate design features:

• AND - swing refrigerator with a side arrangement of the freezer (Side by side);
• G - the freezer is at the bottom;
• D - a device with two doors and the upper position of the freezer;
• I - embedded model;
• K - the presence of particularly thick insulation;
• M - device with three chambers, upper hinged doors and lower sliding compartments (French door);
• T - indicates a refrigerator below 85 cm.

The third letter carries information about the technological equipment: V - the refrigerator has one compressor; S - means two-compressor unit, letter E - a single-compressor dual-circuit device with an electromagnetic valve is indicated; N - system availability No frost.

The number 4 in the marking means the width of the case: «3» - 60 cm; «4» - 70 cm; «5» - 90 cm.

Please note: for our market, Bosch brand refrigerators 60 cm wide are assembled in Russia, 70 cm - in Spain and Greece, 90 cm (Side by) in South Korea. Built-in models and freezers - German production.

Next - 5th - the number indicates refrigerator height: «6» - 185 cm; «9» - 200 cm.

The letters of the sixth position encrypt the functional equipment, the "chips" of the model.

• N - indicates an economy class model;
• V - basic set of updates (technology LOW FROST, a box for vegetables with humidity control, LED lighting)
• X - upgraded model Value + with Vario XL enhancement pack
• A - Added Value - the maximum equipment of the refrigerator (Vario XL, LED lighting, open door alarm, coating AntiFingerPrint).

Vario XL - “inside is more than outside” - an expanded set of possibilities for optimal placement and storage of products in the refrigerator (only for Value +, Added Value)

In the seventh position in the marking is a symbol indicating the color of the model:

• W — white;
• L — stainless steel coating (Inox Look);
• I - stainless steel (Inox) coated with no fingerprints ( Anti finger print).

The following item contains information on the power consumption of the device. Numeral «1» indicates the energy efficiency class A, "2" - A +; "3" - the efficiency of the class A ++ device.

The marking of earlier models is somewhat different from the decryption given. In particular, after numeric characters transmitting sizes, there are letters Z (electronic control) Y (mechanical), and color information is transmitted in numbers: "00-39" - white; "40-49" - under a stainless steel; "60-69" - silver metallic; "90-99" - a door and the case from stainless steel.

How to decrypt the code of Siemens models

Since Bosch and Siemens formed a joint concern BSH (Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte), there is no fundamental difference in the labeling of their products.

The principle of decoding refrigerators from Siemens Solo

Explanations for the scheme:

1. F - The freshness zone is created using innovative technology iSensoric Siemens companies. Sensors (freshSense, hyper Fresh) evaluate the temperature and maintain optimal cooling for food storage inside the chamber.
2. W — a wine cabinet not only provides optimal conditions for storing wines (lack of vibration, protection against ultraviolet radiation, humidity), but also supports two different temperature conditions at the same time - for storing wine and delicacies.
3. X — function Cool vario - The refrigerator and freezer may change places.

A feature of the labeling of Simens refrigerators is a large number of design innovations that open up new possibilities for household appliances.

How to decipher the marking of Lg models

The main information about refrigerators is contained in the so-called nameplates (German: Schild - sign, label) - name plates with serial characteristics of the goods. They are located inside the chamber or on the back of the refrigerator. Without knowledge of the information entered in the tag, it is difficult to pick up spare parts for repair.

Nameplate (nameplate) on the back of the refrigerator with the model code - GR - B459BVCA

The code for the specific LG model on the factory tag contains the following information: the refrigerator is made in Korea, has an NF system, a height of 200 cm, a lower freezer, direct handles on a flat door; body color - white, glossy, has an internal display and a special container for storing fruits and vegetables Mois balance crisper. All this information is transmitted as follows.

1. Symbol «G " in the first place in the labeling of the company means the type of product - a refrigerator.
2. The following is an indication of the country where the device was assembled:

• AND - Russia;
• WITH - China;
• N - Indonesia;
• R - Korea;
• W - Poland.

3. The third letter in the encoding indicates the features of the model:

• S - refrigerator with two doors;
• B - base model with system NO Frost,
• if character AT not in the marking, this means that static cooling is in effect in the refrigerator "Direct cool"(Weeping wall);
• F - equipping a dispenser for making ice.

4. Two numeric characters indicate the height of the device: 37 - 173 cm; 40 - 190 cm; 45,48, 47 - 200 cm; 43 - 90 cm; 42 - 180 cm; 49 - 201 cm.
5. The last digit in the marking indicates the location of the freezers:

• 9 - appliance with bottom freezer;
• 7 — Side by Side;
• 2 - top location of the freezer;
• 1 - single chamber refrigerator;
• 4 - one freezer.

6. One of the characters: B / R / E / U / Y /S / Z / T, - coming immediately after the numbers means the option of a door and a bunch with the name (Jupiter, Spark, Neptune).
7. The following letter carries information about the color of the refrigerator:

• the absence of a letter indicates a standard white matte color;
• AND - steel color;
• E - beige;
• M - under the stainless steel;
• L - silver;
• V - white glossy;
• N - combination of black with steel;
• G - glass doors.

8. The combination of the last two letters indicates the specification of the model:

• CA - internal display + fruit storage system Mois balance crisper;
• QA - Jupiter pen + external display + Opti Fresh Zone (compartment where the temperature is maintained at 0 ° for storing meat and fish without freezing).
• QZ - push-button display + Opti Fresh Zone + linear compressor.
• TOZ - touch display + linear compressor + Opti-Temp Zone(compartment with temperature control: + 2 ° - for vegetables and fruits; - 1 ° - for fish and meat).

Samsung fridge labeling rules

It is difficult to navigate the variety of models of Samsung refrigerators, because the company does not adhere to the labeling rules for local series, which other manufacturers traditionally follow.Marking of 2008 models is not similar to the designations of modern refrigerators: the rules change with the release of each series.

The label shows a high class of economy (A +) for 4 models of the South Korean company, the decoding of their codes will make it clear what are the similarities and differences between the devices of this series

1. First letters "R " indicate the name of the device – refrigerator, refrigerator; "Z "- household freezer.
2. The second letters indicate the location and purpose of the freezers:

• L - appliance with a freezer below;
• T - Top mount - a two-chamber unit with a freezer at the top;
• S - location Side-by-side;
• F - French Door (French door) - refrigerator with hinged doors without a jumper inside the chamber, with increased usable space.
• W - wine cabinet;

3. Two numbers indicate the height of the models: «34» - 177 cm; "39» - 185 cm; «48» - 192 cm; «55» - 200 cm.
4. The first letter after the numbers carries information about the type of refrigerator operation control:

• S - mechanical control;
• «E ","RR ","Q "," N " - various types of electronic control;
• VQ - touchscreen
• VT - touch display + power consumption A +
• W - mechanical control on buttons + dispenser;
• VT - touch display + energy class A +
• Th - mechanical control + drip defrosting system.

5. Letters E / C / B / G - reflect the type of handles on the refrigerator. In our example, all models have a letter WITH - external vertical handles.
6. The last two letters indicate the color of the refrigerator:

• SW - white enameled;
• Ih - plastic, painted under the metal;
• Wb - beige enameled;
• MG - silver.

After decoding, it can be seen that the refrigerators of the above models are identical and differ only in color.

Marking Atlant Models

Marking of models of the Minsk company Atlant is presented in the diagram.

XM - refrigerator with a freezer; MXM - lower and upper arrangement of freezers; M - household freezer

The series code carries basic information about the equipment of the model, its design.

NMK - lower freezer; VMK - the upper location of the freezer. Statics - drip cooling system. No Frost - dynamic cooling

The series code is also related to the design of the refrigeration appliance:

• Series No. 47 — Classic - discreet design in the style of minimalism + function outweighing the door;
• №63 — Comfort - laconic simple design with transparent shelves and drawers inside and the option of self-diagnosis.
• №42 — Compact - low narrow devices for small rooms.
• №№28, 40, 60 — Soft line - rounded contours of the external design, slightly convex doors, ergonomic handles + a variety of colors.
• №18 — New wawe - The original design of the external and internal elements in the form of a wave, the models are presented in white and silver.

The next two digits represent the model code, and determines its height, the number of freezers.

Models with NMC can have 2, 3.4 compartments in the freezer, it depends on the series of release

The last characters in the marking carry information about the energy saving class, color, design of a particular refrigerator.

Super fresh box - a special compartment with t ° = 0 °, where the shelf life of products is extended without freezing. Full No Frost is a defrosting system using a fan of not only a freezer, but also a refrigerator. Models without the letter N have a drip cooling system

Designations on the control panel of refrigerators

The refrigerator control panel consists of buttons and a display. The following designations are most often found in refrigerators of popular brands.

1. Temperature adjustment:

• in the refrigerator - C ° Set / Ref.Temp. / Fridge ;
• in the freezer - Set C ° / Fre.Temp / Freezer.

2. Quick cooling - Power Cool / Super Cool;
3. Quick freeze - Super Freeze / Super Erz / Quick Freeze / Express frz.
4. Saving Modes:

• Vacation / Holiday - the freezer compartment operates in the previous mode, and t ° + 12-15 ° is maintained in the refrigerator, assuming that there are no products for storage (in the absence of hosts).
• Eco - pressing the button sets the temperature in the cameras, optimal for saving energy (-17 °; + 6 °).

5. Sound signals:

• Door Alarm / Alarm On- signal of an open door;
• Reset Filter / Alarm Off - alarm reset.

6. Lock:

• Child Lock - cancellation of previous teams;
• Def / Defrost - pressing the button means turning off the refrigerator for manual defrosting (thawing).

Please note: the DEF signal on the indicator board may indicate emergency defrosting of the refrigerator and indicate a malfunction. When it appears, one must act strictly according to the instructions or call the wizard.

Samsung Refrigerator Display Buttons

Models without a display are equipped with a temperature controller. The numbers on it (from 0 to 14) are called settings - they show the position of the arrow relative to the installation mark. The further the digit is located clockwise, the longer the compressor will work, the lower the temperature in the refrigerator. The temperature in the freezer is slightly affected by the turns of the regulator.

Compressor marking

The information on the compressor labeling becomes relevant when the “native” unit for the refrigerator fails and it needs to be replaced. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the correspondence of compressors by type of refrigerant, power, type of device and shutdown system.

The photo below shows the Danfuss compressor, model NLX15KK.2.

• Letter N (options: R N F S) indicates the series of the device.
• Letter L (and R C) denotes an engine with internal protection.
• Letters of the third position: E, X, Y, - indicate the operation of the device in economy mode.
• Numeral 15 after 3 letters means compressor performance.
• Symbol TO indicates the type of refrigerant - R 600a, it is taken out on the red strip of the label.
• Second letter TO means the compressor is suitable for drip refrigerators with low starting pressure Lst (valve have a symbol X and pressure indicator NST; universal - empty field).
• Letters Lbp on the red field indicates that the compressor is designed for refrigeration and freezer installations with temperatures from -10 to -35 °.

Most European models use Danfuss inverter and reciprocating compressors, while Asian models use Lg linear units
