In this article we will analyze what a Daewoo refrigerator is - we will consider the advantages, model range, user reviews and possible malfunctions.
Choosing a refrigerator, many buyers are guided by the brand - and here it is not so much the logo that matters as recognition by millions of users. One of the world leaders in the manufacture of household appliances is the Korean corporation Daewoo.
About company
The history of Daewoo began in the 70s of the XX century. Gradually developing, the weaving mill turned into a huge company that produces not only household appliances, but also cars.
For several decades, the production of clothes was replaced by serious technological production. All this thanks to the titanic work of first-class specialists. Their efforts are constantly conducting research and experiments, the development of new technologies.
The crisis of the late 90s crippled Asian countries, including the liquidation of Daewoo. Now the brand is part of a corporation from the United States - General Motors. These changes, however, had no effect on product quality.
About Daewoo Refrigerators
The principles of manufacturing household appliances have changed little since 1967. The doctrine remains unchanged: all equipment must be “white” and not harm the environment. If in air conditioners this resulted in an oxygen regeneration system, and in washing machines - in the rejection of the use of harmful household chemicals, then in refrigerators this is expressed in silver dusting Nano-Silver (antibacterial layer).
Let us examine in more detail the technologies introduced by manufacturers at Daewoo.
What is Nano-Silver?
The nano-layer is based on the principle that when converted to the size of one billionth meter, a substance can change its qualities and acquire completely new properties.
Silver nano-ions are introduced into bacteria and viruses, and they die. Remember, the effect of a silver spoon in tea is similar. The silver layer is involved in particular in a series of refrigerators made in the Side-by-Side form factor.
Variety of rulers
Daewoo refrigerators are single-chamber and two-chamber, large and small, etc. There are several popular rulers.
Side by side - one of the most dimensional and capacious models. They are supplemented not only by the notorious Nano-Silver spraying, but also by the No Frost system, electronic temperature control, and a display. In such units a minibar is provided, the location of all compartments is thought out to the smallest detail. What is important: the technique works without using freon! The total volume of cameras of such models is from 585 liters.
Combi - stylish ruler. The “Combi” technique also provides for “Know Frost” and an electronic control system with a display. Designers created a door for them with a recessed handle that can be hung on the other side. Also for convenience there are legs with an adjustment function. Energy savings are achieved thanks to an energy efficiency class of at least A. The total volume of cameras on average is 368 liters.
Dual chamber options - practical and versatile. They provide all the same systems that are in “Combi”. Two-door models are presented in various price categories: from "Economy" and above.
Single chamber mini-fridges created for a summer residence, office, small kitchen or hotel. Equipped with mechanical control, adjustable shelves, a door of a re-hung type.

We offer a description of the characteristics and "chips" of refrigerators from each of the above ranges.
FRS-U20BGW
A large two-chamber unit with a side-by-side construction. White color. The device involves 1 compressor. Case dimensions: 96.1x77x189.6 cm (WxDxH). The total volume of all branches is 618 liters.
Additionally:
- Defrost No Frost.
- Electronic control with display.
- Shockproof glass shelves
- Energy Efficiency - Class A +.
Price - from 118 000 rubles.
Thanks to the Perfect No Frost system, such a refrigerator does not require defrosting, and also copes with freezing food many times faster than conventional models. The display is as informative as possible: it displays not only the temperature, but also all the running functions and options for complete control of the equipment.
If an error or a problem is detected (an open door, elevated temperature in the compartment), you will hear a sound signal, and the display will supplement it with an icon or code.
Unfortunately, the model is not equipped with the “Freshness Zone”, but considering that this is one of the most inexpensive options in the Side-by-Side line with high-quality Korean assembly, this is not a significant minus.
Ruslan
I chose for myself Side-by-Side, and to make it cheaper. Daewoo came up to me completely. I like the big freezer, and the main camera is quite decent. Although there are no special frills except Nou Frost, this is not scary - everything is concise and restrained, as is the design. It's cool that there are wheels, and you can roll around the kitchen if something rolls under it. In general, I advise everyone, a good thing.

I grabbed this refrigerator as soon as I saw it. Prior to this, the ice machine was seen only in Side-by-Side. And in my small kitchen, such a whopper does not fit. Therefore, I am fully satisfied with the functionality with such parameters. Small but roomy, because wide. The shelves are thought out and very harmoniously arranged - everything is always in sight. I surprise my friends with freshly made ice in cocktails. They connected the water, so in the summer there is always cool drinks. Recommend.
Daewoo Electronics FN-15B2B
Small model without a freezer, updated 2017 design. Management - electromechanics, energy efficiency class - A +. The dimensions of the case are 49.3x55x88 cm in width, depth and height, respectively.
Defrosting - drip. The volume of the compartment is 120 liters. Shelves are plastic, the door can be outweighed. Weight - only 26 kg. The cost is 11,285 rubles.
Svetlana
Immediately I note the main drawback: I defrost it once a month. The design is very beautiful, but the door is very easily soiled - no magnets and constant cleaning, wiping. But it does not make noise and the interior does not spoil.
Alexei
I put the three. But I'll start with the good. Fitted into a dark kitchen (a set with glossy black facades). Small but roomy. And now about the thermostat. It was created by some kind of insane ... there are 8 marks on it! You will try to set between 3 and 4. At 3, the top shelf melts and flows, and at 4 all foods freeze. What happens on 5, 6, 7 and 8 is better not to know.
Igor
Despite the fact that there is no freezer in it, neither ice cream nor dumplings will melt, depending on how you adjust the regulator. It does not make noise (before that there was Atlant, served faithfully, but roared like a beast). The shelves are thin, so full treshki can’t stand it. Whoever wants it will be replaced by glass ones - I think now this is not a problem. The only thing I did not understand was what the letters in the marking mean.

Malfunctions of Daewoo refrigerators
Despite such good quality, like any equipment, Daewoo breaks. Sometimes a troubleshooting scheme may be indicated in the operating instructions (for example, cleaning the drain). But most often, users do not know what happened and what to do. Therefore, we will briefly tell you what can happen with a Daewoo refrigerator.
The freezer does not freeze or the main chamber does not chill
At the same time, it is audible that the motor is working, but one of the departments is not coping with its functions. Often this happens due to freon leakage. By itself, it does not disappear anywhere, so the appearance of microcracks in the pipeline is not ruled out. Also, the refrigerant could escape through an opening that you inadvertently punched when defrosting.
Read more in the article "What to do if a freezer or evaporator is pierced."
Expand the cabinet to verify that the cause of the malfunction is indeed a leak. Carefully touch the capacitor. If Freon is in place, the part will be hot.
Sometimes the Daewoo equipment does not work, not because of a leak, but because of a blockage in the pipeline through which the refrigerant circulates. It is difficult to identify this breakdown at home - it is better to contact a trusted master. The problem is eliminated by blowing the tubes with a hydraulic device.
Another reason for the failure is the failure of the motor-compressor. Often users are sure that in case of malfunctions it simply does not turn on. This option also takes place, but not always. It happens that the motor is running, its noise is heard, but the cells are warm - this may indicate a breakdown.
To make sure, a specialist measures the voltage and current with a tester. Sometimes uncharacteristic sounds also indicate this malfunction - the technique clicks, pops, or squeals. The motor, unfortunately, is not repairable, so you will have to install a new part. Only a master can do this, because the replacement is accompanied by sealing the system and refueling freon, which is impossible without special equipment.
Other breakdowns
- Water flows and collects in the main chamber.
- There is water or ice freezes in the technique with No Frost.
- The motor does not turn off, which became noticeable in the increased electricity bills.
- The Clean lamp on the control panel is on.
- The lack of airflow in the chambers with Nou Frost (no fan noise is heard).
- The motor turns on for a couple of seconds and immediately turns off or does not work at full power.
If you find any of these problems, we recommend that you contact the wizard or the service center. Sometimes independent repairs can have very dire consequences.
If an error code is displayed on the screen and you do not know what it means, you will always find the decryption in the operating instructions. But before you sound the alarm, reboot the technique:
- Disconnect from the power supply.
- Wait 5-15 minutes.
- Start up the device.
If after turning on the error disappeared and no longer appears, it was just a system failure. Otherwise, equipment diagnostics and repairs are required.
To summarize. High quality products, affordable cost for users from around the world - all this speaks in favor of Daewoo equipment. Buyers respond mostly positively, and experts have a good opinion of these refrigerators. Malfunctions, of course, are possible, but subject to the rules of operation, your devices will work without interruption. Have a good choice!
