The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, in particular to a refrigerator evaporator defrosting method. The refrigerator evaporator defrosting method comprises the following steps that S1, in a power-on state of a refrigeration system, when the temperature of a cold storage chamber is lowered to the preset halting temperature, the refrigeration system stops, and in addition, a cold storage fan is closed; S2, in a halting state of the refrigeration system, when the temperature of the cold storage chamber rises to the preset defrosting temperature of the cold storage chamber, the cold storage fan starts, and air circulation between the cold storage chamber and an evaporator is formed for carrying out defrosting on the evaporator. The refrigerator evaporator defrosting method has the advantages that in the halting state of the refrigeration system, the rising degree of the temperature of the cold storage chamber is judged, the cold storage fan is automatically started, the air circulation between the cold storage chamber and the evaporator is formed, and warm air flow of the cold storage chamber can be utilized for carrying out defrosting on the evaporator, so the evaporator can realize automatic defrosting, the additional increase of defrosting components is not needed, and the manufacturing cost and the energy consumption are effectively reduced.
