Estimating the term…
A method for controlling operation of a refrigerator having two evaporators is provided which allows food to be effectively stored in refrigerating and freezing chambers of the refrigerator. A Refrigerating-Freezing (RF) cycle and/or a Freezing (F) cycle of the refrigerator and compressor operation are controlled based on temperatures of various chambers within the refrigerator. This may be further enhanced by also controlling operation of the evaporators and their respective evaporator fans to further optimize cooling output and efficiency. In this manner, the various refrigerating and freezing chambers of the refrigerator can be maintained at an appropriate temperature, power consumption is minimized, and load on the compressor can be adequately managed so as to provide for effective food storage.
A method for controlling operation of a refrigerator, in which a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber of the refrigerator are cooled by a Refrigerating-Freezing (RF) cycle which operates a refrigerating chamber evaporator and a freezing chamber evaporator through operation of a compressor, or by a Freezing (F) cycle which operates only a freezing chamber evaporator through the operation of the compressor, comprising:
A method for controlling a refrigerator, in which at least one refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber are cooled by a refrigerating-freezing (RF) cycle which operates a refrigerating chamber evaporator and a freezing chamber evaporator, or by a freezing (F) cycle which operates only the freezing chamber evaporator, comprising:
