Ice maker

A refrigerator comprising:

• a main body;
• an ice maker arranged inside the main body and configured to generate ice;
• and
• a controller configured to control the ice maker in an ice-making mode selected from a plurality of ice making modes,
• wherein the ice maker includes:
• an ice-making container including a plurality of ice-making cells in which ice-making water is to be accommodated;
• a heater configured to supply the ice-making cells with heat when cooling the ice-making water;
• and
• a container support arranged to cover at least an upper portion of the ice-making container, wherein the container support is coupled to the ice-making container, fixed to the main body, and comprises a cup configured to supply the ice-making water to at least one of the plurality of ice-making cells, and
• wherein the controller is configured to turn on the heater in each of the plurality of ice-making modes, and differently control the heater in respective modes of the plurality of ice-making modes.

A method of controlling a refrigerator including an ice-making container including a plurality of ice-making cells in which ice-making water is accommodated and a heater configured to supply the plurality of ice-making cells with heat when cooling the ice-making water, the method comprising:

• receiving an input selecting a first ice-making mode or a second ice-making mode through a mode setter;
• turning on the heater based on the first ice-making mode being selected, and turning on the heater based on the second ice-making mode being selected;
• and
• adjusting an output of the heater based on the selected ice-making mode so that ice generated in the first ice-making mode has a transparency different from a transparency of ice generated in the second ice-making mode.
