Refrigerator and anti-condensation method therefor

Abstract

A refrigerator and an anti-condensation method for the refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a first storage compartment, a second storage compartment adjacent the first storage compartment, a separation wall separating the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment, and a heater in the separation wall. The first storage compartment is adapted to be set at a refrigerating temperature, and the second storage compartment is adapted to be set at a freezing temperature. In the anti-condensation method, the heater is controlled to work in an anti-condensation mode when a refrigeration system stops cooling the first storage compartment, to heat a surface of the separation wall facing the first storage compartment, which can significantly reduce the probability of condensation on the surface and is beneficial to reduce the impact of the working of the heater on the refrigeration system.
