Other than the fact that it looks like the power is off in your photo, it's all fairly kosher. For hotter water, I'd set it to 고 in the button that is first below the red writing.

If it still doesn't work, even after you're sure it's on and it's set to 고 then I would ask if your boiler's pilot light has gone out, or if you have piped in gas because you might live in the boondocks and need an oil delivery to a tank for your apartment.

might sound a silly question but are you sure its switched on? stupid me had the same problem as I kept turning the gas off after cooking not realising that gas not electricity powered the ondol.
