Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator and a control method thereof. The refrigerator comprises at least one storage room and a draught fan used for blowing cooling blast to one or more storage rooms. Specifically, the invention provides the control method of the refrigerator. The control method includes the steps that the running state of the draught fan is obtained; when the draught fan stops, the continuing time during which the draught fan stops running is acquired; and when the continuing time during which the draught fan stops running reaches first preset duration, the draught fan is started in a forced manner, and the draught fan is forced to run for second preset duration. Thus, after a certain amount of frost or ice is formed on the draught fan, the draught fan is forced to run so that the purpose of effectively removing the frost or the ice on the draught fan can be achieved. The invention further provides the refrigerator. The refrigerator further comprises at least one storage room, the draught fan and a control device. The control device is configured in the manner that the draught fan is started in the forced manner when the continuing time during which the draught fan stops running reaches the first preset duration, and the draught fan is forced to run for the second preset duration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to household appliances, in particular to a refrigerator and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Usually, during the cooling operation of the refrigerator, when the temperature in the storage room of the refrigerator reaches below the set temperature, the refrigeration system of the refrigerator will automatically stop running until the temperature in the storage room of the refrigerator rises to a certain level and then automatically Start running. For an air-cooled refrigerator, when the refrigeration system of the refrigerator stops operating, the fan used to deliver the cooling airflow to the storage compartment stops rotating. Since the fan is set close to the evaporator, the temperature near the evaporator is relatively low, and the space for accommodating the evaporator and the fan in the refrigerator is small, and the humidity in this space is relatively high, so the fan (especially the blade of the fa...
