    Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigerator includes: a step for determining whether or not a defrosting initiation condition is satisfied with respect to an evaporator; a step for, if the defrosting initiation condition is satisfied, detecting a pressure differential by means of one differential pressure sensor for measuring the pressure differential between a first through hole, which is positioned between the evaporator and an inlet port having air flowing in from a storage chamber, and a second through hole which is positioned between the evaporator and a discharge port having air discharged to the storage chamber; and a defrosting step for variably defrosting in accordance with the measured pressure differential.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigerator includes operating a heater of the refrigerator in a first mode to increase a temperature of an evaporator of the refrigerator to a predetermined temperature, the first mode comprising a continuous operation of the heater, 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, maintaining operation of the heater in the first mode based on a determination that the period of time is outside of the reference period of time, and operating the heater in a second mode that is different from the first mode based on a determination that the period of time is within the reference period of time.

    Abstract: A refrigerator having an air pressure controllable storage container is allowed to control air pressure of the storage container to be temporarily lower than initial air pressure by turning on and off a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump sucks internal air of the storage container, and a controller turns on the vacuum pump such that internal air pressure of the storage container is lower than the initial air pressure, and turns off the vacuum pump such that the internal air pressure is restored to the initial air pressure.

    Abstract: This specification relates to a vegetable storage container for a refrigerator, and more particularly, a sealing structure of a vegetable storage container for a refrigerator capable of sealing an inside of an accommodation space of a vegetable box simply by using a lever after closing the accommodation space with a cover. This specification provides a refrigerator with a vegetable storage container, which includes a vegetable box having a front part and a main body both forming an accommodation space therein as a storage space for vegetables, the vegetable box being installed to be drawn out of the refrigerator, a vegetable box cover horizontally installed on the accommodation space to selectively cover an upper opening of the vegetable box, and a pressing unit to seal the accommodation space after the accommodation space of the vegetable box is closed by the vegetable box cover.
