摘要: The present application relates to the field of ice making control for a refrigerator. Disclosed is a control method for ice making of a refrigerator, the method comprising: when an ice maker finishes ice making, detecting whether an ice storage box of the ice maker is in an ice-full state; when it is detected that the ice storage box is not in the ice-full state, controlling the ice maker to complete a first instance of ice turning; detecting again whether the ice storage box of the ice maker is in the ice-full state; and when it is detected that the ice storage box is in the ice-full state, controlling the ice maker to make ice again. In this way, the utilization rate of an ice maker can be effectively improved, the ice making amount is improved, the time during which a user waits for ice making is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

摘要: An ice maker of a refrigerator includes a tray assembly having an upper tray that defines upper portions of a plurality of ice making chambers. Each of the plurality of ice making chambers is configured to receive water and generate an ice piece. The tray assembly also includes a lower tray that is located vertically below the upper tray, that is configured to rotate relative to the upper tray, and that defines lower portions of the plurality of ice making chambers, wherein at least one of the upper tray or the lower tray comprises a flexible tray made of a flexible material. Additionally, a case is configured to accommodate the flexible tray to restrict a deformation of the flexible tray. A heater that is located between the case and the flexible tray is configured to supply heat to the plurality of ice making chambers through the flexible tray.

摘要: Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes: a storage chamber configured to store food; a cooler configured to supply cold into the storage chamber; a first tray assembly configured to define a portion of an ice making cell that is a space in which water is phase-changed into ice by the cold; a second tray assembly configured to define another portion of the ice making cell, the second tray assembly being connected to a driver to contact the first tray assembly in an ice making process and to be spaced apart from the first tray assembly in an ice separation process; a heater disposed adjacent to at least one of the first tray assembly or the second tray assembly; and a controller configured to control the heater and the driver. The controller controls the heater to be turned on in at least partial section while the cooler supplies the cold so that bubbles dissolved in the water within the ice making cell moves from a portion, at which the ice is made, toward the water that is in a liquid state to make transparent ice.
