<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator capable of improving power saving effect.SOLUTION: A refrigerator 1 includes: a cold chamber 2; an ice-making chamber 31 which is at a temperature equal to or lower than the freezing point; a chiller which produces cold air to be sent out to the cold chamber 2 and ice-making chamber 31; a feed water tank 4 which is arranged in the cold chamber 2 and reserves water; an ice tray 9 which is arranged in the ice-making chamber 31; a feed water pipe 14 which guides the water in the feed water tank 4 to the ice tray 9; an ice separation part which separates ice; and an ice storage container 11 which stores the ice, and performs an ice making operation in which a water feeding operation to feed water to the ice tray 9 and an operation to separate the ice made in the ice tray 9 are repeated. The refrigerator has a normal mode in which cooling is performed under predetermined cooling conditions and a power-saving mode in which electric power is saved under cooling conditions different from those of the normal mode, enters the normal mode through a predetermined return operation done in the power-saving mode, stops an ice making operation at the end of the operation to feed the water after the operation to separate the ice is performed as many times as the predetermined number Na of times of the operation to separate the ice when the power-saving mode is entered under the predetermined conditions, and restarts the operation to make the ice when the return operation is done.</p> |
