Abstract: A refrigerator comprises: a cabinet having a refrigerating chamber; a refrigerating chamber evaporator provided to correspond to the refrigerating chamber, and configured to generate cool air by a driving of a compressor; an evaporator temperature sensor mounted to the refrigerating chamber evaporator, and configured to sense a temperature; a blower fan configured to supply cool air generated from the refrigerating chamber evaporator to the refrigerating chamber; and a controller configured to determine whether to stop the blower fan or not, based on a temperature of the refrigerating chamber evaporator sensed by the evaporator temperature sensor when the compressor is stopped.
