With a forced-air circulation system that directs cold air around the customized, airtight storage containers, it’s perfect for preserving kimchi, seafood, select wines, cheese and other perishables for extended periods of time.
- Lactic acid: The LG Kimchi and Specialty Food refrigerator features a unique lactic acid option that automatically adjusts temperatures to enhance and increase the production of lactic acid bacteria that are key to fermented foods.

- Cooling care: LG’s innovative Cooling Care system creates ideal storage for kimchi and other specialty foods that require specific cooling. It supplies cold air every 6 minutes through 20 air vents located throughout the refrigerator to keep internal temperature consistent and reduce fluctuation.
- Kimchi case: Along with intense flavors, specialty foods often produce strong or pungent aromas. Fortunately, every LG Kimchi and Specialty Food refrigerator is equipped with customized storage containers that are 100% airtight to seal in the freshness while preventing aroma overload.
- Specialty Food Ref: In addition to kimchi, store seafood, select wines, cheese and other perishables with a force-air circulation system that's perfect for preserving specialty foods with specific temperature and storage requirements.

Q: Does it come with 6 containers with over 20 gallons of airtight storage seal?
A: Model LRKNC0505V comes with (6) 3.5 gallon Kimchi storage containers. ^Daphane
Q: Why would anyone want a convertible freezer refrigerator?
A: The short answer: versatility. Here is a practical example: during the hot Summer months, having a bunch of ice cream, popsicles, and other cold treats on-hand is great, but during the cold Winter months someone might not want/need all those frozen treats. Instead of now having a bunch of freezer space they don't have any plans for, they can just convert it to more refrigerator space and store things they like to have during the winter (e.g. seasonal beverages). Another example: you could get a nice, big, frozen turkey months in advance and store it in this unit, and then gently defrost it by simply changing the unit's settings from freezer to refrigerator.
A: Hello, yes it is.^Venette
Q: Can freezer work in the garage in south Florida?
A: Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected. ^Daphane
A: Only connect this product to a dedicated grounded electrical outlet rated for use with this product (115 V, 60Hz, AC only, 15 Amps minimum. I am sorry power consumption is not offered for when the unit is running. ^Daphane
Q: what is the water line for? Do i need to purchase water line?
A: Please reach out to our support team on Facebook at @LGUSSupport and use #VOC in your first message to our social media support team. Please be sure to provide your name, phone number, address, email, model/serial numbers, and date of purchase and we will be happy to assist you. There are policies and procedures in place to ensure resolutions are consistent and fair. I am confident that we will work to provide an agreeable resolution.^Venette
Q: Can it be used as freezer? If so, what is the temperature?
A: This unit has convertible fridge or freezer temperature zones. Kimchi’s storage temperature is around 32°F (0 C°). The storage temperature settings change in the order of (L- Low Cooling- cold) → (M- Medium Cooling-colder) → (H- High Cooling-coldest). Kimchi may ferment at different speeds depending on the type of kimchi, seasoning, and temperature at which it is made. Cover kimchi containers with plastic wrap or tightly-fitting lids before storing them to keep kimchi fresh longer. ^Daphane
