Ice-making control method

Abstract

The present invention relates to an ice-making control method. An ice-making control method according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: flowing refrigerant in an evaporator having multiple ice-making fingers spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction to start ice-making at the ice-making fingers; obtaining temperature information at the end portion of the evaporator at a first extension determination time point after the starting of ice making; determining whether to extend a set ice-making time on the basis of the temperature information at the end portion; and when it is determined to extend the ice-making time, extending the ice-making time by a first extension time and making ice for the extended ice-making time. Therefore, the present invention can provide uniform-sized ice even when there is a significant difference in cooling time between the start and end portions of the evaporator.
