Abstract: A refrigerator includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, switching valve, an ice-making device, a controller, and a first refrigerant pipe and a second refrigerant pipe connected between the condenser and the evaporator. The switching valve is configured to guide the refrigerant condensed in the condenser to the first refrigerant pipe or the second refrigerant pipe. The ice-making device allows the first refrigerant pipe to pass therethrough and is configured to cool water stored in an ice-making tray. The controller is configured to control the switching valve to guide the refrigerant to the ice-making device through the first refrigerant pipe. In response to a temperature of the ice-making tray falling to a level lower than or equal to a reference temperature, the controller is configured to control the switching valve to prevent the refrigerant from being guided to the first refrigerant pipe and supply water to the ice-making tray.
