Abstract

A refrigerator for supplying a proper amount of water and a control method thereof. The refrigerator is optimally operated in ice-making and ice-separating modes based on the amount of water supplied for making ice cubes, and a control method thereof. The method includes the steps of (a) determining whether or not a proper amount of water is supplied to an ice cube tray in an earlier water supply mode; (b) maintaining the amount of the supplied water in the earlier water supply mode to the amount of the supplied water in a present water supply mode in case that the proper amount of the water is supplied to the ice cube tray in the earlier water supply mode, and resetting the amount of the supplied water in the present water supply mode by increasing the amount of the supplied water in the earlier water supply mode in case that the proper amount of the water is not supplied to the ice cube tray in the earlier water supply mode; and (c) supplying the water according to the amount of the supplied water in the present water supply mode.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 2004-28349 filed on Apr. 23, 2004 at the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The disclosure of this application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a refrigerator capable of correctly adjusting the amount of water supply for making ice cubes and a control method thereof. Background technique [0004] In general, a refrigerator is a device for keeping food fresh at low temperatures, and includes an ice making device for automatically making ice cubes. [0005] The conventional ice making device is arranged in the freezing chamber, can automatically provide water into the ice cube tray, and check the ice making state of the ice cube tray. Then, when ice making is performed, the ice making device automatically separates the ob...
