A method for controlling a refrigerator includes: a step for determining whether or not a defrosting initiation condition is satisfied with respect to an evaporator; a step for, if the defrosting initiation condition is satisfied, detecting a pressure differential by means of one differential pressure sensor for measuring the pressure differential between a first through hole, which is positioned between the evaporator and an inlet port having air flowing in from a storage chamber, and a second through hole which is positioned between the evaporator and a discharge port having air discharged to the storage chamber; and a defrosting step for variably defrosting in accordance with the measured pressure differential.
A method for controlling a refrigerator including a cabinet that defines a storage compartment therein, an evaporator, a case that accommodates the evaporator and that defines an inlet configured to receive air from the storage compartment and an outlet configured to discharge air into the storage compartment, and a differential pressure sensor configured to detect a difference of air pressure within the case, the method comprising:
A refrigerator comprising:
