    Abstract: A refrigerator includes an ice making tray in which ice making water to be supplied, an ice making device configured to generate ice by using the ice making water supplied to the ice making tray, an ice making heater configured to heat the ice making tray, a sensor configured to detect a temperature of the ice making tray, a memory that stores at least one instruction, and a processor that is connected with the memory and controls the refrigerator, wherein the processor is configured to detect a temperature change of the ice making tray during a cooling time corresponding to whether the ice making heater operates within a predetermined time after a start of ice making driving, and based on the magnitude of the temperature change of the ice making tray being greater than or equal to a value corresponding to the cooling time, stop of the ice making driving.

    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a first tray assembly defining one portion of an ice making cell, a second tray assembly defining another portion of the ice making cell, a heater disposed adjacent to at least one of the first and second tray assemblies, and a controller to control the heater. The refrigerator further includes a pusher including a first edge having a surface pressing at least one of the ice or the first and second tray assemblies to separate the ice from the tray assemblies, a bar extending from the first edge, a second edge disposed at the end of the bar, and a guide connection part. The controller moves at least one of the pusher and the second tray assembly to change a relative position between the pusher and the second tray assembly. The refrigerator further includes a guide slot providing a movement path of the guide connection part.

The refrigerator further includes a pusher including a first edge having a surface pressing the ice or at least one of the first and second tray assemblies to easily separate the ice from the tray assemblies, a bar extending from the first edge, and a second edge disposed at the end of the bar; and a pusher link having a connection part connected to the pusher. The controller controls at least one of the pusher or the second tray assembly to move and to change a relative position between the pusher and the second tray assembly.

    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: A method for manufacturing an evaporator for ice-making includes: a preparation step for preparing a plate member, a finger member, and a capillary tube, the plate member being provided with a through hole and formed as a developed view of a tube; an insertion step for inserting the finger member into the through hole so that the finger member at least partially passes through the through hole; a connection step for fixedly connecting the finger member to the plate member; an insert placement step for placing at least a part of the capillary tube on the plate member; and an evaporation tube formation step for forming an evaporation tube, which is provided with a refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows, by bending the plate member into a tube shape and connecting end portions.

    Abstract: 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.
