Abstract: A refrigerator and a control method thereof of the present disclosure allows a controller to perform a load operation when the load operation start condition is satisfied when a door is opened, and when an operation release condition is satisfied, the load operation is controlled to be released and switched (or maintained) to a normal storage operation.

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.
