Where and how to find a Stinol refrigerator model: a guide with photos and diagrams

Refrigerators Stinol are one of the most common in Russia, but over time the documentation is lost and the stickers fade. Without the exact name of the model, it is impossible to select spare parts, find instructions, or call a technician. In this article we will analyze all possible methods model definitions - from the obvious (inspection of the plate) to non-standard (by serial number or design features).

The peculiarity of the brand Stinol is that its models were often produced in several modifications (for example, Stinol 101 and Stinol 101K), which are almost identical in appearance. We will show you how not to confuse them and where to look unique identifiers even on old refrigerators from the 1990s–2000s. For convenience, we added FAQ block with answers to frequently asked questions.

1. Where is the model plate on the Stinol refrigerator

The most reliable way is to find the factory sticker (nameplate). It is usually located in one of Stinol it is usually located in one of three places - on the left or right side wall, closer to the upper corner. Often hidden under shelves.:

• 📍 Inside the refrigerator compartment - on the left or right side wall, closer to the upper corner. Often hidden under shelves.
• 📍 At the back of the refrigerator —on or near the compressor. It can be closed with a protective cover.
• 📍 On the freezer door —on the inside, under the seal or on the plastic panel.

On the plate, look for the lines: Model, Model, Type or Art.. For example: Stinol 107 EL or ATLANT-Stinol 205T.

On refrigerators Stinol manufactured before 2005, the plate may be metal (embossed symbols) - it is easier to read by illuminating it with a flashlight at an angle. On models after 2010, thermal stickers are often used, which peel off over time. If the nameplate is missing, proceed to the next method.

2. How to identify a model by serial number (S/N)

The serial number (S/N, Serial No or Head. No.) contains encoded information about the model. It is usually located next to the main sign. Number format for Stinol:

X XXXX XXXXXX
│ │ └───── serial number
│ └──────── year and month of issue (for example, 0308 = March 2008)
└────────── model code (for example, 1 for Stinol 101, 2 for Stinol 102)

Decoding of the first character (model code):

If the serial number begins with a letter (for example A123456), these are models after 2012 - their decoding is different. In this case, contact support Atlant (now they own the brand Stinol) with a photo of the number.

3. Determining the model by external features

If there is no sticker and the serial number is not readable, the model can be identified by design features. Stinol has several “branded” parts:

• 🔹 Handles:
  • Plastic vertical - models 100–107 (1990–2005).
  • Metal curved - 200–205 (2003–2010).
  • Recessed (hidden) - 110, 116, 167 (after 2008).
• 🔹 Case color:
  • Matte white - most models before 2010.
  • Silver ("metallic") — Stinol 107EL, 205T.
  • Black - rare modifications Stinol 167 Black (2012–2015).
• 🔹 Freezer compartment:
  • Top - Stinol 100–107.
  • Bottom - Stinol 200–205, 110, 116.
  • Side-by-Side - only Stinol 300 (produced in a limited edition).

Also pay attention to: number of compressors (one - for most models, two - for Stinol 116 i 167), type of defrosting (drip - for 100–107, No Frost - number of compressors 205T, 110).

How to distinguish Stinol 101 from Stinol 101K?
