A refrigerator according to an embodiment comprises: an ice-making chamber for providing a space in which ice is made; a cooler for supplying coldness to the ice-making chamber; and an ice-making machine for forming an ice-making cell as a space in which water undergoes a phase change to ice by means of the coldness. The ice-making machine comprises: a first tray assembly having a first tray forming a part of the ice-making cell; a second tray assembly having a second tray forming another part of the ice-making cell; a heater for supplying heat to the ice-making cell; a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of water or ice in the ice-making cell; a driver for generating driving power such that the second tray assembly is moved with regard to the first tray assembly; and a controller for controlling the heater and the driver. If the heater's operation starting condition is satisfied, the controller may operate the heater and then determine whether the driver's operation starting condition is satisfied. If the driver's operation starting condition is satisfied, the controller may operate the driver.
