    Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigerator according to the present embodiment is a method for controlling a refrigerator comprising a first tray forming a part of an ice chamber, a second tray forming another part of the ice chamber, a driving unit for moving the second tray, an ice bin for storing ice produced in the ice chamber, and an ice-fullness detection means for detecting whether or not the ice bin is full of ice, the method comprising the steps of: supplying water to the ice chamber in a state in which the second tray has moved to a water-supply position; making ice after the second tray has moved from the water-supply position to an ice-making position in the inverse direction after the water supply has been completed; determining whether or not the ice bin is full of ice after the ice making is completed; moving the second tray to an ice-separating position and then rotating same in the inverse direction if it is not determined in the step of determining whether or not the ice bin is full of ice that the ice bin is full of ice; and determining again whether or not the ice bin is full of ice after ice separation is completed.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for controlling a refrigerator, the refrigerator including an ice mater including a first tray and a second try provided in a storage space and coupled to each other to define a ice chamber and a driving part that rotates the second tray, a first heater provided in the first tray to heat the first tray, a second heater provided in the second tray to heat the second tray, and an ejector provided below the second tray to press an external portion of the second tray to separate ice from the second tray when the second tray is rotated for ice separation, and a controller that controls operation of the ice maker, the method including starting ice making by supplying water to the ice chamber; heating the second tray by turning on the second heater during ice making; heating the first tray by turning on the first heater for ice separation after completion of ice making; and heating the second tray by turning on the second heater for ice separation.
