A frosting detection device using a frosting detection apparatus using in turn a heat sensing detection element and a heat sensing compensation element for detecting a frosting volume through a difference in temperature between the two elements, comprising a frosting detector (1) comprising in turn a heat sensing detection element (1a) and a heat sensing compensation element (1b), an amplifying circuit (2) for amplifying an output signal from the frosting detector (1), a comparative circuit (3) for comparing an output voltage from the amplifying circuit (2) with a set level, an operation detecting circuit (5) for detecting operating conditions of a compressor and a cooling fan (4), and a judgement circuit (6) for detecting a frosting volume through output voltages from the operation detecting circuit (5) and the comparative circuit (3), wherein the output from the comparative circuit (3) is received so as to detect a frosting volume only when the compressor and the cooling fan (4) are in operation.
