Abstract: In a refrigerator and control method thereof according to the present disclosure, when a load operation is terminated and a normal storage operation is performed, a re-input prevention control is performed to prevent the load operation from being performed even if an operation start condition of the load operation is satisfied. During the re-input prevention control, when a re-input prevention stop condition is satisfied, the re-input prevention control is controlled to be stopped. In this way, it is possible to prevent over-cooling of a first storage compartment, which may be caused by continuous input of the load operation, and respond smoothly to the corresponding load when a large load is input.
