    Abstract: A refrigerator comprises: a cabinet including a storage compartment, a door opening or closing the storage compartment, a door opening device including a push rod moving from an initial position to a door opening position for opening the door and a motor providing power to the push rod, and a controller controlling the motor. The controller allows the motor to rotate at a first opening speed for opening the door of the refrigerator. The controller changes a rotation speed of the motor to a second opening speed lower than the first opening speed before the push rod contacts the door of the refrigerator or the cabinet.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator and, more specifically, a refrigerator which enables a user to easily open a door thereof. The present invention relates to a refrigerator and method for controlling the same, which can prevent a door thereof from opening by itself due to a malfunction. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a refrigerator may comprise: a cabinet having a storage chamber; a door for closing or opening the storage chamber; a sensor provided to sense whether a user is within or out of a sensing distance, to enable discrimination between sensing-on and sensing-off; a door opening device provided to automatically open the door; and a control unit for determining an operation condition of the door opening device on the basis of a time interval from the sensing-on to the sensing-off and a duration for which the sensing-on continues in the sensor, so as to control the operation of the door opening device.
