    摘要: Provided are an ice maker, a refrigerator and a control method therefor, enabling the efficient separation of ice from ice making grooves in an ice tray at the time point when the ice making is completed, regardless of the size (capacity), operation rate, surrounding temperature and cooling capacity of a refrigerator. To this end, the ice maker, according to the present invention, comprises: an ice tray having ice making grooves formed therein; an ice separating motor driven so that ice is separated from the ice making grooves; a temperature detection unit; and a control unit for controlling the ice separating motor, wherein the control unit operates the ice separating motor or an ice separating heater at an ice separation starting time point or a heating starting time point calculated using temperatures detected according to time by the temperature detection unit, or a cumulative ice making time.
