Abstract: A refrigerator is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a temperature sensor, a cooling device, and a processor which controls the cooling device such that, when a user command to change the temperature of a storage compartment set to a first temperature to a second temperatures, is input, the temperature of the storage compartment is changed to the second temperature, based on the temperature of the storage compartment sensed by the temperature sensor, and controls the cooling device such that, when a certain period of time elapses after a point in time when the user command is input, the temperature of the storage compartment returns to the first temperature, based on the temperature of the storage compartment sensed by the temperature sensor.
