A refrigerator (10) and a method for controlling a refrigerator are provided. The method may include driving a refrigerating cycle including a first evaporator (150) and a second evaporator (160) by activating at least one compressor (111, 115), supplying refrigerant to the first and second evaporators (150, 160) by controlling a flow adjuster (130), recognizing whether the refrigerant is concentrated into the first or second evaporator (150, 160), by sensing a temperature of the first or second evaporator (150, 160) through at least one temperature sensor (210, 220, 230, 240), reducing supply of the refrigerant to the first or second evaporator (150, 160) into which the refrigerant is concentrated, by adjusting the flow adjuster (130), storing information about an operation time of the flow adjuster (130), recognizing whether the at least one temperature sensor (210, 220, 230, 240) has malfunctioned, and determining an operation time of the flow adjuster (130) according to whether the at least one temperature sensor (210, 220, 230, 240) has malfunctioned. |
