Disclosed are a refrigerator and a home appliance. The refrigerator includes a compressor, a capacitor configured to store direct current (DC) power, an inverter configured to convert the DC power into alternating current (AC) power and to output the AC power for driving of the compressor, a defrosting heater configured to be operated using the AC power from the inverter, a switching unit connected between the inverter and the defrosting heater to supply the AC power from the inverter to at least one of the defrosting heater or the compressor, and a compressor microcomputer configured to control the inverter. The refrigerator enables simplified driving of the defrosting heater using AC power output from the inverter. |
