The invention provides a
pressure balance control method of a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a chamber, a door body for opening or closing the chamber, a refrigerating
system for providing cold energy to the chamber, an ice maker arranged on the door body and a control device used for controlling operation of the refrigerator. The refrigerating
system further comprises a refrigerating air duct, a refrigerating fan, a first
air door, an ice making air duct, an ice making fan and a second
air door, wherein the refrigerating air duct is used for delivering cold energy to the chamber; the refrigerating fan and the first
air door are arranged on the refrigerating air duct; the ice making air duct is used for conducting cold energy to the ice maker; and the ice making fan and the second air door are arranged on the ice making air duct. The door body is provided with an ice outlet used for taking ice and an ice outlet cover plate covering the ice outlet. The control method comprisesthe following steps of S1, judging whether the refrigerator needs to be decompressed or not, and if yes, executing the step S2; S2, opening the first air door, the second air door and the ice outletcover plate, and controlling the ice maker to rotate reversely; and S3, controlling the ice making fan to stop rotating reversely and closing the ice outlet cover plate after the refrigerating fan rotates reversely for a period of time t. Through the
pressure balance control method of the refrigerator, under the condition of not adding components, the internal and
external pressure of the refrigerator is balanced to facilitate door opening.
