METHOD FOR ESTIMATING COMPLETION OF ICE-MAKING FOR AN ICE MAKING ASSEMBLY OF REFRIGERATOR

摘要

An ice manufacturing finish decision method of an ice-making assembly for accurately determining ice-making completion time is provided to determine the ice completion time accurately and minimize unnecessary cool air loss and power consumption. An ice manufacturing completion determining method of a refrigerator de-icing assembly is as follows. The de-icing mode is turned on(S21). The size of the ice is selected(S22). The water is provided to the tray. A part of the rod for the cool air transfer is submerged under water. It is supplied with the cool air to the refrigerator inside. The on/off of the tray heater is controlled. The tray is maintained by the preset temperature. A heater integration on time in which the tray is maintained by on a state is counted(S26). It reaches the heater accumulation on time corresponding to the ice of the selected size.
