    Abstract: Disclosed are a compressor applied to a refrigerator not having a cycle matching function or a refrigerator not including a controller, and capable of controlling a driving of a linear motor by the compressor itself, and a method for controlling the same. The compressor installed at an apparatus including a refrigeration cycle includes: a piston which reciprocates in a cylinder; a linear motor configured to provide a driving force to move the piston; a sensor configured to sense a motor current of the linear motor; and a compressor controller configured to detect information related to a load of the apparatus, in a separated manner from a controller which controls a body of the apparatus, wherein the compressor controller calculates a phase difference between a stroke of the piston and the sensed motor current, and wherein the compressor controller controls a driving of the linear motor in correspondence to the detected load, such that the calculated phase difference is within a range of a reference phase difference.
