<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator that prevents a useless increase of temperature inside a storage compartment in a defrosting mode. <P>SOLUTION: In the refrigerator having an off-cycle cooling mode of operating a cooling fan 6 when a freezing cycle is in a pause state and opening a chiller damper 8 to cool a chiller and a defrosting mode of melting frost adhered to a cooler 5 by a defrosting heater, an interval from an end of the defrosting mode to a next defrosting mode is controlled. With this structure, in the refrigerator equipped with a freezing compartment damper, an amount of frost on the cooler can be estimated and a defrosting interval can be adjusted to prevent a useless increase of temperature of the storage compartment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
