    摘要: There is disclosed a controlling method for a refrigerator comprising: a first defrosting step of performing defrosting for an evaporator, the first defrosting step which ends when the temperature of the evaporator reaches a first temperature; a pressure difference sensing step of measuring a difference between the pressure in a first through-hole arranged between an inlet hole for drawing air from a storage compartment and the evaporator and the pressure in a second through-hole arranged between an outlet hole for discharging air towards the storage compartment and the evaporator by using one differential pressure sensor; and a second defrosting step of performing additional defrosting for the evaporator when the measured pressure difference is a preset pressure or more.

    摘要: A method for controlling a refrigerator includes providing an initial input value to a heater configured to supply heat to an evaporator, performing a continuous operation of the heater based on the initial input value to increase a temperature of the evaporator to a predetermined temperature, determining a period of time taken to increase the temperature of the evaporator to the predetermined temperature, determining whether the period of time is within a reference period of time, operating the heater based on a first input value that is equal to the initial input value based on a determination that the period of time is outside of the reference period of time, and operating the heater based on a second input value that is less than the initial input value based on a determination that the period of time is within the reference period of time.

    摘要: A control method of a refrigerator includes the steps in which: a heating element of a sensor which is responsive to a change in the flow rate of air is turned off after being turned on for a predetermined period of time; a first sensing temperature (Ht1) of the heating element is sensed in a state in which the heating element is on, and a second sensing temperature (Ht2) of the heating element is sensed in a state in which the heating element is off; and a defrosting operation of removing frost on an evaporator is determined on the basis of the temperature difference value between the first sensing temperature (Ht1) and the second sensing detection temperature (Ht2).
