    Abstract: A refrigerator includes: a storage chamber; a cooler to cool the storage chamber; a first tray assembly and a second tray assembly configured to define an ice making cell; 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, wherein the controller controls the heater to be turned on to make transparent ice from water within the ice making cell, and the controller controls the heater so that when a heat transfer amount between the storage chamber and the water of the ice making cell increases, the heating amount of the heater increases, and when the heat transfer amount between the storage chamber and the water of the ice making cell decreases, the heating amount of the heater decreases.

    Abstract: The refrigerator according to the present invention may comprise: a first tray forming a part of ice-making cells; and a second tray assembly forming the other part of the ice-making cells. The first tray assembly comprises a first tray and a first tray case which supports the first tray, and the second tray assembly comprises a second tray and a second tray case which supports the second tray, and the degree of adhesion of ice to any one of the first and second trays is smaller than the degree of adhesion of ice to any one of the first and second tray cases or the degree of adhesion of ice to a metal.

    Abstract: The refrigerator of the present invention comprises: a storage compartment where food is stored; a cold air supply means for supplying cold air to the storage compartment; a first tray forming a part of an ice making cell which is a space where water phase-changes into ice by the cold air; a second tray which forms another part of the ice making cell and which can be brought into contact with the first tray during an ice making process, and which is connected to a driving unit so as to be spaced apart from the first tray during an ice separating process; a heater positioned adjacent to at least one of the first tray and the second tray; an ice bin for storing ice dropped from the ice making cell; a full ice level sensing means for sensing a full ice level of the ice bin; and a control unit for controlling the heater and the driving unit.
    When the full ice level of the ice bin is sensed by the full ice level sensing means, the control unit controls the driving unit such that the second tray moves to the ice separating position after the ice making is completed.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator of the present invention may include a first tray assembly configured to define one portion of an ice making cell, a second tray assembly configured to define the other portion of the ice making cell, and a heater disposed adjacent to at least one of the first and second tray assemblies, and a controller configured to control the heater. The controller controls the heater to be turned on so that ice is easily separated from the tray assemblies before the second tray assembly moves to the ice separation position in a forward direction.

    Abstract: The refrigerator according to the present invention comprises: a storage compartment for storing food; a cooler for supplying cold to the storage compartment; a first tray assembly forming a part of ice-making cells which are where water changes phase to ice due to the cold; a second tray assembly forming the other part of the ice-making cells; a heater located adjacently to the first tray assembly and/or the second tray assembly; and a control unit for controlling the heater. Any one of the first and second tray assemblies has a greater degree of cold transfer than the other tray assembly.
