Lipetsk Plant and Stinol Refrigerators

Customers are wary of devices manufactured under world-famous brands, but at Russian enterprises and factories. Nevertheless, such an attitude has no reason, since units equipped and assembled by local craftsmen are in no way inferior to devices that were made abroad. The manufacturer does not have an official website, since the Stinol brand no longer exists and new models of units are not produced.

Reference! Indesit Corporation, which bought the Lipetsk plant (the full name of Stinol Refrigerator Plant CJSC), which produced Stinol brand refrigerators, actually completely reorganized the interior.

Refrigeration equipment "Stinol"

Refrigeration equipment assembled at the Lipetsk plant are high-tech devices that still comply with modern standards. Due to the integrated approach of engineers developing new models of Stinol units while they were still being produced, these refrigerators are of high quality and reliability, as well as a carefully designed case design. The main advantage of the products that were produced and are still being produced at the Lipetsk plant is its affordable cost - the price of the units is low and virtually every person with average income can afford such equipment.

Technological features of units

Indesit Corporation, which bought the Stinola plant, is improving and constantly introducing new technologies into the production process that increase the functionality and operational comfort of refrigerators. But, in many ways, they use the achievements of engineers who worked on the Stinol brand refrigeration equipment. The main useful functions that are present in the units are as follows:

No Frost automatic defrosting technology is a definite system that allows not to defrost the unit forcibly, but simply to turn it off periodically for sanitary purposes (for wet cleaning inside chambers). Due to forced ventilation, cold air flows are evenly distributed inside the unit and the temperature values are also the same.
The vast majority of the demanded models of Stinol refrigerated cabinets is characterized by a large capacity of chambers and a significant total useful volume of equipment, which amounts to hundreds of liters.
Keeping the cold offline - the vast majority of Stinol refrigeration units in the event of a sudden power outage, is able to maintain the set temperature values for 12 hours or more. This ensures the safety of the loaded products and makes such a refrigerator a good option for an area where there are regular problems with energy supply.

Reference! Chambers of units equipped with the Nou Frost system, which prevents the formation of ice, as well as frost on the inner surfaces of the units. The models have a different set of options, among which there are exactly those that are required in a particular case.

Climatic class and energy efficiency of units

The refrigeration equipment assembled in Russia, which was manufactured under the Stinol brand, in the vast majority of cases was characterized by energy efficiency classes A and B. The most economical units cost a little more, but as a result, such a waste was paid off by reducing the amount of payment for electricity.

Among the models there are units of climate classes that are optimally suited for use in the territory of the post-Soviet countries. In the vast majority of cases, for Steenol refrigerators, the climate class is represented by the SN markings, that is, designed for operation in a mixed type of climate at an ambient temperature of + 16 ... + 32 ° C.

The best units of the Stinol brand

Among the demanded units of the Stinol model range of the old model before the transition of the plant to Indesit, there are those that were bought more often than others. Such units include models with markings:

Stinol 101 is a three-chamber refrigerating cabinet, which differed from other models with a temperature regulator with one handle. The pointer was turned clockwise and this lowered the temperature values, the exact level of which could be set by means of control measurement. The regulator was common to both the freezer and others. In other models of the manufacturer Stinol, regulators were installed separately for each of the cameras.

To understand why Stinol refrigeration equipment was so popular in the domestic market of large-sized household appliances, it is possible to familiarize yourself with five popular models. The list of their positive aspects included an attractively low price, good functionality and reliability, providing a long operational period without breakdowns and malfunctions.

Stinol STN 200

The two-chamber refrigerating cabinet 2 m high is executed in classical white color. Refrigeration equipment with a capacity of 359 liters, of which 106 liters are allocated to the freezer with a lower location. In 24 hours, this unit is able to freeze up to 2.5 kg of food.

Each of the chambers is cooled according to the principles of Nou Frost technology, which means that there is no need to perform regular forced defrosts to remove snow and ice growths on the walls.

The model is controlled according to the electromechanical version, reliable and simple, which makes it possible to operate such refrigeration equipment in difficult conditions, when voltage surges in the electric network are observed and there are interruptions in the power supply. Also, in order to increase the comfort of operation of the unit, the refrigerator is well insulated, which is due to its ability to maintain the initial temperature values for 13 hours even in the absence of electricity. The model belongs to the category of economical in terms of energy consumption and it is assigned A energy efficiency class.

Stinol STS 200

This unit is not different from the STN 200 model in external dimensions, but it is slightly ahead in terms of usable internal volume. The total capacity of the chambers of the refrigerator is 363 liters, of which 128 liters are allocated to the freezer. In 24 hours, the freezer is able to freeze up to 2 kg of food.

Each of the chambers is cooled according to the static principle, that is, snow and ice growths will periodically form inside. The defrosting of the refrigerator is compulsory and is carried out manually at intervals as specified in the manufacturer's operating instructions.

The unit has an electromechanical control option, which makes it not so comfortable to use compared to the electronic interface, but much more reliable in operation. Due to the electromechanical control option, the device more easily tolerates voltage drops in the network and is less affected by sudden power outages. In stand-alone mode, the refrigerator is able to maintain the set temperature indicators for 19 hours. Energy class of unit B.

Stinol STS 150

The height of the refrigeration unit with a pair of chambers is 1.5 m, which negatively affected capacity. The useful volume of the described model is represented by only 263 liters, only 73 liters are allocated to the freezer with a lower location. In the freezer, up to 2 kg of food can freeze in 24 hours.

The cooling process in this model occurs by drip, which means the need for periodic forced defrosting.

Reference! Units with a drip type of thawing have a significant advantage over refrigeration appliances with the Nou Frost system - a microclimate is formed inside them, more suitable for preserving the elasticity and freshness of fruits, vegetables, greens and berries.

The described model has an electromechanical option for controlling cooling processes. But, the unit is less likely to fail due to a power surge or lack thereof. In cases when there is a sudden cessation of power supply in an autonomous mode, the refrigerator is able to maintain the initial temperature values for 15 hours. In accordance with the categories of energy efficiency, according to the results of tests, the unit was assigned to class.

Stinol STN 185

Refrigerating two-chamber cabinet, the height of which is represented by 185 cm. The capacity of the described unit is 333 liters. The freezer is located in the lower part and its volume is represented by 106 liters. The power of freezing allows you to cool to the required temperature about 2.5 kg of food products in 24 hours.

Each of the chambers is equipped with Nou Frost technology, which eliminates the need for periodic forced defrosting of the unit in order to eliminate ice growths and snow "fur coats" on the inner walls. Turning off the refrigerator is necessary only in order to perform wet cleaning inside the chambers no more than once every six months.

The model has an electromechanical control option that is immune to changes and sudden power outages. In the absence of electricity in the network, the working temperature inside the chambers due to good thermal insulation can be maintained for 13 hours. According to tests for energy indicators of the described model, A energy efficiency class was assigned.

Stinol STD 125

The single-chamber model, which is the best option for placement in a small kitchen in the case of a small number of residents in a house or apartment. Also, due to its small size, such refrigeration equipment looks good in dorm rooms and is suitable for use as a unit for a country house, to which people periodically come to relax in the comfort of the city.

The height of the described model is only 125 cm, and the capacity is 225 liters. The freezer is characterized by an upper position and its useful volume is 28 liters. The camera is cooled according to drip technology, so defrosting this unit is required by force - manually. But, leaving to thaw the refrigerator too often is not required - just 2-3 times a year.

The control of such a single-chamber Stinol electromechanical option, which prevents potential equipment problems in the event of a sudden voltage drop in the network. The refrigerator is assigned to the energy efficiency class.

How to use Stinol refrigeration units

The clarity and serviceability of the functioning of the Stinol refrigerator depends on how responsibly and fully users follow the instructions for use of the unit. First of all, the refrigerator must be correctly positioned, the place for this must comply with the following parameters:

lack of contact with direct sunlight,
the distance from the gas or electric stove is about 0.5 m,
distance from heating appliances and systems - at least 50 cm.,
the distance from the walls of the unit to the wall is at least 5-7 cm.

Such an arrangement helps to prevent premature compressor wear due to overheating of this unit.

Important points for using the refrigerator

There are some rules, the observance of which guarantees a longer operational period of the Stinol refrigeration equipment, regardless of the specific model, and prevents sudden malfunctions and failure of significant nodes. Recommendations for the use of refrigerated cabinets are as follows:

The chambers of the unit are not dimensionless, therefore it is forbidden to overload them with an excessive amount of food.
Before washing the inner surfaces of the chambers, the refrigeration equipment is disconnected from the mains and allowed to completely thaw or “cool down” a little after work in the case of Nou Frost defrosting technology.
The drainage holes provided for by the manufacturers for the outflow of melt liquid must be regularly checked and cleaned at least once a month.
It is forbidden to remove the snow "coat" and frozen ice using sharp objects or by acting mechanically in another way. Ice and snow must melt on their own - only this option will prevent mechanical damage to the evaporator.
It is forbidden to use abrasive compounds for washing, as the coating of the chambers during their use will be damaged.
Units with the technology of defrosting Nou Frost do not require forced defrosting, but they must be washed every six months.
During the wet cleaning process inside the chambers, make sure that the liquid does not get on the lighting elements and the thermostat.

To get rid of unpleasant aromas inside the chambers, it is possible to use soda, coffee, vinegar, lemon juice, activated carbon, dried citrus peels or purchased flavors and deodorants for refrigerators.

Principles of Safe Operation

To prevent the occurrence of dangerous situations for health and life, as well as to prevent electric shock, during the operation of refrigeration equipment, it is necessary to strictly follow the safety rules. The main principles for the safe use of Stinol refrigerators are as follows:

The refrigerator is connected to a separate outlet, which is grounded. It is forbidden to use tees, adapters or extension cords to connect the units to the mains.
The integrity of the cord braid is periodically checked, and also make sure that the wire is not bent or tied into knots.
The unit must be disconnected from the mains if it is necessary to relocate to a new place or change the lamp that illuminates the interior of the refrigerator. The power of the new bulb must not exceed 15 watts.
Humidity in the room where it is planned to place and operate a refrigerating cabinet must not exceed the mark of 75%.
It is forbidden to store carbonated drinks in the freezer, as well as liquids spilled on glass containers that can rapidly freeze.
The simultaneous touching of refrigeration equipment and a grounded element (water pipes, heating system, sink, gas stove) is prohibited.

Attention! The operating period for refrigeration equipment is not infinite and therefore it is necessary to replace the old device with a new one after the expiration of the manufacturer's recommended life. In another embodiment, such a technique can pose a danger to human health due to changes in the quality characteristics of electrical insulating and other materials.

Summary

Stinol refrigerators are household appliances that were produced in Russia, at the Lipetsk plant. These units were extremely popular among buyers, as they were characterized by high-quality assembly, long service life and ease of use.Stinol refrigeration equipment is no longer manufactured, and the plant was purchased by Indesit, which manufactures modern equipment, but in its units takes into account the achievements of engineers who were engaged in the improvement of Stinol devices.

The owners of the units of the brand that has ceased to exist are still satisfied with the quality and technical characteristics of the purchased devices. Older Stinol models still function properly and do not require repair, and malfunctions rarely occur. The main condition for extending the “life” of Stinol refrigeration equipment is following the operating rules recommended by the manufacturer.

The principles of the plant in the city of Lipetsk

When Indesit, an Italian refrigerator company, bought the Stinol plant, the organization of all assembly processes was completely modernized. Many processes were automated, and a logistics center was built near the plant, where analysis and improvement of all stages of the creation of aggregates took place.

All employees of the plant began to undergo special training in courses that helped craftsmen to improve their skills. Products began to pass a three-level test - now low-quality goods can hardly get on store windows.

The main elements and details from which the more complex components of the refrigerator are assembled, it was decided to bring from abroad.

All these changes allowed the company to create refrigerators of any complexity, fill them with all modern technologies, fully test the products before they reach stores and eliminate all possible errors and shortcomings.

Thus, it became possible to make equipment according to all standards and state standards, but, despite the use of foreign parts in the assembly, in Europe such refrigerators cost more than their Russian counterparts.

Currently, the Lipetsk plant is on the list of leaders in the Russian market. The company provides high-quality equipment at reasonable prices, so the products are in great demand among consumers.

Features of Stinol refrigeration units

Compressors that are installed in units are supplied from manufacturers of other countries:

Danfos (Denmark),
Sicop (Slovenia),
ACC (Italy),
Jiaxipera (China).

The internal elements are very durable - the plastic of the boxes and containers does not break, and up to 35 kg can be put on glass shelves. This allows you to safely place and put any kind of product, without worrying that something will break.

The external design of the refrigerators was created by Italian artists and the famous Japanese designer Makio Hasukite. Thanks to the joint work of creative people, it was possible to create exquisite styles and sophisticated forms of refrigerators, a place for which there is in any interior.

Stinol units belong to the class of cheap equipment that is available to almost everyone, but at the same time they combine quality and reliability. Price is one of the main advantages. refrigerators are manufactured in Russia; customs duty is not added to the cost of the unit itself.

Indesit is constantly improving and upgrading the Stinol refrigerator, adding new and useful options:

Air Tech Evolution No Frost - a cooling system that distributes air throughout the chamber, thereby creating ideal conditions for storage of products,
"Integrated Refrigeration" - an innovative type of ventilation, due to which the desired temperature and humidity are created anywhere in the refrigerator,
"Vacation" - the refrigerator goes into sleep mode. The name speaks for itself - this option can be turned on for a long absence, and the unit will spend a minimum amount of electricity just to maintain a cold,
Supercooling / Freezing - in this mode, you can very quickly cool or freeze foods,
“Cool Care Zone” - allows the operation of the freezer drawer in various types of cooling,
"Ice Party" - not in all units; it is a special bucket with refrigerant for better cooling of champagne.

The buyer can choose the set of functions he needs so that he does not overpay for what he does not need.

According to the type of energy consumption, brand refrigerators can be from B to A ++. A ++ is the most economical, for everyday use at home it is better to choose it, and for a summer house or garage, B class is also suitable. Models with minimal consumption are a little more expensive, but this cost will subsequently pay off in electricity bills.

The defrosting on most modern models is automatic. It can be a drip system or “No Frost”. The first type of defrosting implies that all ice and hoarfrost will accumulate on the back of the refrigerator, and when the compressor is turned off, they will defrost and drain into melt water in a special container, from where they will automatically evaporate. "No Frost" allows you to do even without such a defrosting procedure. With this type of cold distributed evenly throughout the chamber with the help of fans.

Advantages of the Stinol Technique

affordable cost - most refrigerators belong to the middle and low class of prices,
large selection of units - the number of cameras, built-in, the necessary set of functions: each person will choose for himself the refrigerator that suits him,
modern design,
many additional useful features, the set of which each person chooses for himself,
energy savings - most models belong to energy class A or even A +,
long working life - 5-25 years without breakdowns, according to user reviews,
good quality for a small cost.

Disadvantages of Stinol Refrigerators

The disadvantages of the units were manifested mainly in the case of manufacturing defects, but after the purchase of the plant by Indesit, the inspection of finished products became more thorough, and cases of low-quality products getting into the windows were greatly reduced. Among the shortcomings are:

low freezing power,
low-quality sealant,
quick exit from standing sensors, in the case of electronic type of refrigerator control.

The most terrible breakdown that can happen with a refrigerator is a compressor burnout due to frequent power surges. You can protect yourself from this by connecting the unit to the mains through the stabilizer.

Factory product lines

All models of manufactured refrigerators can be divided into 3 types according to their functionality and application:

built in kitchen cabinets or cabinets,
with one or two cameras,
separate freezers without a refrigerator.

You can choose and buy the right unit not only in large stores of household appliances, but also through the Internet.

How to use Stinol Refrigerators

The health of the refrigerator directly depends on how it is operated. First of all, you need to choose the right installation location for the unit:

protect the refrigerator from direct contact with sunlight
it is forbidden to install next to heating appliances: boiler, electric stove, radiator, etc., the distance should be at least half a meter,
you can not put the unit back wall close to the wall, it can overheat, move it at least 5 cm.

These safety measures are needed to prevent the refrigerator from overheating and to facilitate its work in cooling the interior of the chambers.

A few more points of proper use of the unit:

Do not overload the refrigerator chambers with food.
Before washing the unit, it must be disconnected from the outlet and wait a while until the temperature of the internal walls is equal to room temperature (with the “No Frost” system). If the defrosting system is drip, then before washing it is necessary to allow the refrigerator to thaw from ice.
The drip system must be checked monthly. If the melt water outflow pipe becomes clogged, all the water will be in the refrigerator compartment.
It is impossible to accelerate the thawing of ice by breaking it off - this way you can accidentally break the plastic of the camera.
You can only wash the refrigerator with products that do not contain abrasive elements, otherwise the coating may become scratched after the first wash.
“No Frost” refrigerators do not need to be thawed, but they must be washed at least once every six months or more, as they become dirty.
When washing, make sure that water does not drip onto the lighting fixtures and thermostat.
To get rid of the unpleasant odor, you can make a flavor from improvised means and place it in the refrigerator. Suitable for this: soda, coffee, lemon juice. You can also wipe the walls with vinegar when washing or buy a ready-made freshener for the refrigerator.

In order to avoid any dangerous situations due to the fault of the refrigerator, you must follow the safety precautions:

The unit must be turned on only in a separate outlet so that other devices are not included with it. The outlet must be earthed, it is forbidden to connect the refrigerator through tees, adapters or extension cords.
The wire should be well insulated. It is necessary to regularly check the integrity of the insulation, and also if the wire is not bent, it should not be twisted.
If there is a need to rearrange the unit, you must disconnect it from the mains. The same must be done when changing the lamp, its power should not be more than 15 watts.
Do not use the refrigerator in too humid rooms, where the mark exceeds 75%, this can lead to a short circuit.
Do not store carbonated drinks or glass containers in the freezer, as they freeze rapidly - this can cause a sharp temperature drop and unpredictable behavior of the drink or container.
It is forbidden to touch the refrigerator and the grounded element (pipe, sink, battery, etc.) at the same time; a current discharge can be obtained.

Conclusion

To choose the right unit, you need to think in advance how it will be used. For a large family, you need to buy a two-chamber volumetric refrigerator with high power, and a small single-chamber unit is enough for a summer cottage or office.

But what if the products need to be stored a lot, and a small apartment does not allow you to install a large refrigerator? Then you can consider options for medium-sized refrigerators, which are only slightly less spacious than large ones, but are their exact reduced copy in terms of functionality and internal layout.

In addition to sizes, you can select many additional functions that facilitate the use of the unit. Automatic defrosting, “Vacation” mode, amount of power consumption, type of control, built-in - you can assemble everything you need in your unit. The Stinol brand represents a large line of models, among which everyone will pick up a refrigerator for all the necessary parameters.

The principles of the Lipetsk plant

By technology, released under the popular world brands, but in Russian factories, buyers have always been wary. However, there is nothing to be afraid of. Devices assembled and equipped by local craftsmen are almost in no way inferior to equipment made abroad.

Indesit Corporation, which bought the Styrene plant in Lipetsk, completely reorganized the interior. The Italians equipped the workshops with modern automatic lines, and in the neighborhood built a progressive logistics center.

The process of manufacturing and assembling refrigeration equipment was taken under strict control by Italian engineers. Training was organized for the staff and provided the opportunity to improve their qualifications in special courses.

In addition, it was decided to bring the main work units, original replacement parts and technological components from abroad.

In the workshops of the Lipetsk enterprise, they created comfortable conditions that made it possible to assemble a turnkey refrigerator, test for potential breakdowns and timely eliminate the discovered shortcomings and problems.

This made it possible to start the production of devices that meet the most stringent standards, but are somewhat cheaper than similar products made in Europe.

The interests of Indesit in the Russian Federation are represented by Indesit International CJSC. This organization controls all issues related to the production of refrigerators, and conducts active logistics activities that ensure the distribution of products throughout the country.

Today in Lipetsk produce the following devices:

built into a niche or under a countertop,
single-chamber and two-chamber freestanding,
household freezers.

The sale is carried out by the official representative of the brand in Russia - a subsidiary of Indesit RUS LLC. It also organizes the possibility of acquiring refrigerators manufactured at the former Stinol plant throughout the country.

Products are distributed through online stores and popular chains specializing in the sale of household appliances.

The products of the Lipetsk plant, manufactured on Italian equipment, taking into account the traditions of Stinol and the latest innovative developments, attract customers with a reasonable price, high level of reliability, practicality and European quality.

Models from Indesit representative in Russia

Cool care zone - allows the use of a freezer drawer in four different cooling options.
Ice party - exclusive option. Cools champagne bottles correctly in a special bucket with refrigerant.

All models have a different set of the above options.The buyer can choose for himself what he really will use, and for which there is no point in overpaying.

Energy Efficiency and Climate Features

Russian-made refrigerators manufactured at the Stinol plant under the Hotpoint-Ariston and Indesit brands have several energy classes - from B to A ++. The most economical appliances are valued somewhat more expensive, but over time it pays off by a significant reduction in electricity consumption.

Among the products there are models of all classical climatic classes and units with finer settings that provide for operation in a mixed climate, for example, SN-T or SN-ST.

Having familiarized with the characteristics, the user can choose for himself the most convenient and comfortable product.

Product lines manufactured by the factory

Today, the production complex in Lipetsk is fully loaded. The plant collects such lines of refrigerators as:

“Evolution” - Hotpoint-Ariston,
Basic, New Line, Icon, and Giugiaro are Indesit.

Most of the products enter the domestic Russian market and partially go to neighboring countries.

General Description of Russian Hotpoint-Ariston

Apparatus HBT equipped with revolving doors. Containers for meat, fruits and vegetables are conveniently located, are easily removed, washed and are resistant to minor mechanical damage. The plastic from which they are made has excellent transparency and retains it throughout the entire operational period.

When you turn off the electrics, the freezer maintains the set temperature for 13 hours. Of course, this is not the most impressive indicator, but the presence of such a function will help at least for some time to maintain reserves in the event of a force majeure situation.

Distinctive features of Lipetsk Indesit

The company in Lipetsk under the brand Indesit mainly produce budget models. They are distinguished by good energy efficiency (class B and higher), are controlled by electromechanics, have ergonomic compartments for different types of products and cost reasonable money.

The exterior design is classic. This moment allows you to harmoniously fit the refrigerator into any interior.

Unit NBS 20 AA from the Basik series differs in capacity, but at the same time has a small width and easily becomes in the kitchen of small and medium sizes. Electricians consume only 294 k / W per year. When you turn off the energy in the freezer for 19 hours keeps a low temperature.

Simple and inexpensive two-chamber RAA28 or the New Line range is suitable for use in all climates. The freezer is located on top and thawed dropwise. The recessed handles allow you to use the door gently without putting extra load on it

BIAA 20 UA Icon series is designed in a restrained, elegant style. Particular refinement is given to it by overhead extended handles located on the door. The interior space is competently divided by impact-resistant glass shelves with white metal sides. The freezer is located below and is equipped with three plastic drawers.

The main feature of the refrigerator Prime Giugiaro PBAA 34 NF X D - This is a unique appearance developed by the Giugiaro Design studio. The "filling" is not far behind these parameters. The functionality and capabilities are very wide and raise the operating comfort to a very high level.

The Pure Wind function contributes to uniform cooling of food in all compartments, and the control panel with sound and light signals informs the owner in a timely manner of any problems, malfunctions and interruptions in the supply of electrics.

The rating of the best Indesit models can be found in this material.

What to look for when choosing a refrigerator?

In order to buy a refrigerator correctly and not to overpay, it is necessary to determine in advance in what conditions the unit will be operated and how much products will be stored in it.

For a family of 2-3 people living in a small-sized city apartment, compact-width devices that do not take up much space are suitable.

Those who often travel on business and do not keep large food supplies at home should pay attention to products with the “Vacation” function. Thanks to her, you can set the refrigerator to work in "sleep" mode for the duration of the absence of the owners. This will save a significant amount on utility bills.

For large, high-capacity refrigerators, the energy class is an important criterion. To save food and reasonably consume an electrician, it is worth taking an A + or A ++ level unit. For small household appliances, this moment is not so significant, so you can save on it. Read more about how much energy refrigerators consume, read on.

Customer feedback on products

Customers respond differently to products made at the former Stinol plant under the Indesit and Hotpoint-Ariston brands. Among the pluses is the loyal price, for which you can buy not only a basic unit with a minimum of functions, but also a rather “sophisticated” device.

Customers positively evaluate the internal arrangement, the presence of strong and durable removable shelves, roomy containers for different types of products and the ability to re-door.

Among the minuses are often called not too good build quality and instability to the active use of flagella and seals. These elements wear out very quickly and require regular replacement, like thermal relay sensors.

Experts note some problems in refrigerators with electronic control. The internal board often burns out without having served its due date, and it has to be reflashed or replaced with a new one.

Poor soldering of the circuit pipes, which Russian devices often sin, often leads to leakage of freon. The replacement process itself is not difficult, but it takes time and skill. Wizards from the service center fix the problem quickly, but you will definitely have to pay for it.

Most of all, potential buyers are afraid of compressor failure, but such a breakdown happens in refrigerators extremely rarely. Even models equipped with a Chinese device work clearly and are not afraid of heavy use.

To protect the equipment from power surges, Indesit engineers advise customers to get a voltage rectifier. This element will save equipment from sudden combustion in the event of an unexpected blackout and reduce the load on the compressor, thereby extending its service life.
