Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigerator, includes turning off a cold air transmission unit as a temperature of a storage compartment becomes equal to or less than a second reference temperature while a cold air generator is operated, turning on the cold air transmission unit, upon determining that the temperature of the storage compartment is equal to or greater than a first reference temperature which is greater than the second reference temperature, and calculating, by a controller, an operating ratio of the cold air transmission unit based on ON and OFF time of the cold air transmission unit, determining an output of the cold air transmission unit based on the operating ratio of the cold air transmission unit, and operating the cold air transmission unit with the determined output, upon determining that the temperature of the storage compartment is equal to or less than the second reference temperature.

Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigerator includes providing an initial input value to a heater configured to supply heat to an evaporator, performing a continuous operation of the heater based on the initial input value to increase a temperature of the evaporator to a predetermined temperature, determining a period of time taken to increase the temperature of the evaporator to the predetermined temperature, determining whether the period of time is within a reference period of time, operating the heater based on a first input value that is equal to the initial input value based on a determination that the period of time is outside of the reference period of time, and operating the heater based on a second input value that is less than the initial input value based on a determination that the period of time is within the reference period of time.

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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes an evaporator, a defrost heater, a temperature sensor to detect an ambient temperature of the evaporator, and controller to control the defrost heater, wherein, in response to a defrosting operation start time point arriving, the controller is configured to perform a defrost operation mode including a pre-defrost cooling mode, a heater operation mode, and post-defrost cooling mode, perform a pulse operation mode in which the defrost heater is repeatedly turned on and off based on the heater operation mode, and change a magnitude of cooling power supplied in the post-defrost cooling mode based on an ON period of the defrost heater or a temperature of a cooling compartment in the pulse operation mode. Accordingly, defrosting efficiency and power consumption may be improved, and cooling power after defrosting may be efficiently supplied.
