Control method of refrigerator
A refrigerator includes an ice making chamber having an ice making tray, an ice making chamber refrigerant pipe to supply cool air to the ice making tray, and an ice making chamber circulation fan to circulate air in the ice making chamber. A control method to prevent frost from being formed in the ice making chamber includes determining whether temperature of the ice making chamber is lower than a predetermined temperature; and driving the ice making chamber circulation fan to prevent frost from being formed in the ice making chamber upon determining that the temperature of the ice making chamber is lower than the predetermined temperature. Driving the ice making chamber circulation fan to prevent frost includes driving the ice making chamber circulation fan for a predetermined period of time when the temperature of the ice making chamber is lower than the predetermined temperature.
1. A control method of a refrigerator comprising an ice making chamber having an ice making tray, an ice making chamber refrigerant pipe, and an ice making chamber circulation fan to circulate air in the ice making chamber, the control method comprising:
determining whether the temperature of the ice making chamber is lower than a predetermined temperature;
when the temperature of the ice making chamber is lower than the predetermined temperature, subsequently determining whether a refrigerant flows in the ice making chamber refrigerant pipe;
when the refrigerant flows in the ice making chamber refrigerant pipe, subsequently driving the ice making chamber circulation fan in a low mode;
when the refrigerant does not flow in the ice making chamber refrigerant pipe, subsequently driving the ice making chamber circulation fan in a high mode; and
stopping driving the ice making chamber circulation fan after a predetermined period of time.
2. A control method of a refrigerator comprising an ice making chamber having an ice making tray, and ice making chamber refrigerant pipe, and an ice making chamber circulation fan to circulate air in the ice making chamber, the control method comprising:
determining whether the temperature of the ice making chamber is lower than a predetermined temperature;
when the temperature of the ice making chamber is lower than the predetermined temperature, subsequently determining whether the ice making chamber is full of ice and determining whether a refrigerant flows in the ice making chamber refrigerant pipe;
when the ice making chamber is full of ice and the refrigerant flows in the ice making chamber refrigerant pipe, subsequently driving the ice making chamber circulation fan in a low mode;
when the ice making chamber is not full of ice, subsequently driving the ice making chamber circulation fan in the low mode;
when the ice making chamber is full of ice and the refrigerant does not flow in the ice making chamber refrigerant pipe, subsequently driving the ice making chamber circulation fan in a high mode; and
stopping the ice making chamber circulation fan after a predetermined period of time.
