METHOD FOR CONTROLLING REFRIGERATOR

摘要

A method for controlling an operation of a refrigerator includes circulating and/or supplying a refrigerant to a refrigeration chamber evaporator and a freezer chamber evaporator, determining whether to stop an operation of the compressor a predetermined time from or after an initial driving point in circulating and/or supplying the refrigerant; opening a refrigeration chamber switching valve, a freezer chamber switching valve and/or a refrigerant flow path valve, and subsequently closing the valve(s) when it is determined that the compressor should be stopped; and stopping the compressor after opening the refrigeration chamber switching valve, the freezer chamber switching valve and/or the refrigerant flow path valve.

1. A method for controlling an operation of a refrigerator comprising a compressor, a condenser, and a refrigerant flow path valve that supplies refrigerant from the condenser to a refrigeration chamber evaporator and a freezer chamber evaporator, the method comprising:
circulating and/or supplying the refrigerant to the refrigeration chamber evaporator and the freezer chamber evaporator; determining whether to stop an operation of the compressor a predetermined time from or after an initial driving point in circulating and/or supplying the refrigerant; opening the refrigerant flow path valve and subsequently closing the refrigerant flow path valve when it is determined that the compressor should be stopped; and stopping the compressor after opening the refrigerant flow path valve.
