CONTROLLING METHOD OF ICE MAKER

摘要

A method of controlling an ice maker is provided that minimizes generation of excess water and reduces energy consumption. The method allows for uniform heat to be generated and distributed throughout the ice tray during an ice separation process. Consequently, the ice separating process may be consistently performed irrespective of the shape of the ice tray and its surroundings, thereby minimizing generation of excess water, and reducing energy consumption. The method comprising: supplying water to an ice tray positioned at an initial position and freezing the water to produce ice; moving the ice tray to an ice separation position; intermittently heating the ice tray (S120) so as to separate the ice from the ice tray.
