The Korting brand of household appliances (pronounced curtering or improperly corting) belongs to the Gorenje Group. Initially, the brand was German, but subsequently only the name remained of German. Design and manufacture of goods run by an international corporation.
The main product line of the brand is various kitchen appliances (hoods, stoves, refrigerators, dishes, etc.), domestic air conditioning units. Industrial sites and development centers are located in different countries: Slovenia, Romania, China, Ukraine, Italy, Turkey. The goods of the company are considered to be of high quality, for the most part they belong to the economy class category.
Air conditioning systems
Korting air conditioners are not the main products of the brand. And they serve only as an extension of the product line. They are slightly represented: several monoblock, mobile air conditioners and several models of split systems.
The company does not have its own production of HVAC equipment. All air conditioning systems are made in China. Most likely, models are developed there, since a group of international companies also do not have specialized centers for the development of climate equipment.
There is no data on which particular enterprise is being assembled and which components are part of the equipment. Assembly can be carried out at different enterprises and from different components. However, the company carries out quality control and you can be sure that all products are uniform in this sense. Those. there is no roulette, how lucky when buying.
Catalogs with a series of Korting air conditioners are not available. Models are presented in general catalogs of goods of the company. Also, sales are carried out in various stores of household appliances.
Monoblock mobile floor air conditioners
Korting mobile air conditioners are universal appliances. They work both for cooling and for heating. The main advantage is that they are portable. At the same time, they are very compact and the installation of an air conditioner does not require a lot of labor to start work. But like with all such systems, the disadvantage is the increased volume of work. A distinctive feature of all mobile systems is a remote control for the air conditioner.
Models are identified by letters in the abbreviation KACM. The letter M here means mobile. There is no systematic table of designations. The symbols at the end indicate the color: W - white, S - silver.
Another difference between mobile air conditioners is control with a retractable LCD panel. The models have a self-diagnosis system. Error codes are displayed on the drawer. Served area: 20 - 40 sq.m.
Complex filtering systems are not provided for in the devices. Some models may have conventional mechanical fine filters. Corrugated pipe can be led out through a special flange to the street directly through the wall. In this case, a portable air conditioner is similar to a stationary air conditioner.
In terms of operational efficiency, Korting mobile all-in-ones are comparable to stationary devices. What doesn’t happen so often. Typically, mobile air conditioners lose in functionality to their stationary counterparts.
Wall split systems
Another Korting climate device is a split system:
- Kacms. A line of standard start-stop systems. It works in 4 main modes: cold, heat, drying and ventilation. The area served by air conditioners, with a standard height - from 20 to 80 sq.m.The design is made in several color schemes: W - white, S - silver, B - black. Equipped with a display and remote control;
- Kacmi. A series of compressor control systems with an inverter. The cooled area depending on the model power is from 20 to 60 sq.m. Also work in 4 main modes. Remote control, information is duplicated on the display. The automatic ice cleaner mode is integrated (periodically, the system includes defrosting the external heat exchanger). Color schemes are white and silver.
Comparative characteristics of models
The company periodically updates its products. The models below in the comparative table may already be discontinued. But instead of them, the production of analogues began, the characteristics in this case usually differ slightly in the direction of improvement.

There are no specialized centers for sales and service of HVAC equipment. A sales assistant in an ordinary household appliance store may not be competent enough to answer questions. On the other hand, the technique is reliable and does not cause any particular complaints.
Instructions for the Korting control panel and air conditioners
Instructions for air conditioners are included in the package of equipment. Since sales are carried out through ordinary household appliance stores, it is recommended that you carefully familiarize yourself with the features of the model.
The instructions provide basic recommendations for the operation of the equipment, its installation, troubleshooting. There is also a list of contacts where you can contact if you need to repair or replace failed equipment.
Korting Air Conditioner Error Codes
All models of air conditioners have a self-diagnosis system. If an error is detected, its code is displayed on the remote control and duplicated on the display (located on the indoor unit or on the mobile device).
The equipment belongs to complex technical devices, therefore, cases of malfunctions and incorrect display of errors are not ruled out. Therefore, before starting to search for the cause of failure, it is recommended to restart the system. To do this, you will need to completely turn off the equipment for a while. If after switching on the error does not disappear, then in this case proceed with troubleshooting.
Error codes are unified, since all equipment is not a unique development of the company. The best way not to break the device is to contact a specialized service center. And in the case of attempts to self-repair external blocks of split systems, this is also unsafe.
User reviews
There are no sharply negative reviews about Korting air conditioners. There are few models, but the manufacturer made sure that their quality was comparable with the quality of the rest of the product line.
Mostly buyers note a small price. And accordingly, there are no special expectations from products positioned as an economy class. The stated functions of the technician performs clearly. Increased noisiness is noted, but for use in office premises it is not particularly worrying.
No complaints and appearance. Classic air conditioning corting fits into any interior.
When installed by a service organization, recommendations are given on how to maintain and clean equipment. But without cleaning and routine maintenance, any split system will not last long.
