Abstract

A control method of a refrigerator comprising an ice storing part storing and discharging ice cubes, an ice shaving unit shaving the ice cubes discharged from the ice storing part to make shaved ice, an ice transferring driving part supplying the ice cubes stored in the ice storing part to the ice shaving unit, and an ice shaving unit driving part driving the ice shaving unit to make the shaved ice. The method includes: setting on / off reference times for the ice transferring driving part so that the ice transferring driving part operates according to a predetermined operation period; storing final on / off times elapsed from a final operation period of the ice transferring driving part when the ice shaving unit driving part is stopped; and driving the ice transferring driving part for the final on / off times remaining from the final operation period, and then driving the ice transferring driving part according to the operation period when the ice shaving unit driving part is driven again.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator and a control method thereof, and, more particularly, to a refrigerator that makes and serves shaved ice and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] In general, a refrigerator includes a refrigerator and a freezer that preserve various foods in an optimal state for a long period of time. The freezer stores refrigerated foods that should be stored above freezing point, such as vegetables, fruits, etc., while the freezer stores frozen foods that should be stored below freezing point, such as fish and meat. [0003] The freezer is provided with an ice maker that makes ice cubes of a predetermined size by using cold air circulated through the freezer, and an ice storage that stores the ice cubes made by the ice maker. Ice cubes stored in the ice storage part are discharged outside in the state of cubes or crushed ice, and the configuration of the ice storage part is disclosed in Korean Patent...
