PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator such that the ozone concentration therein can be controlled to such a degree that does not affect a human body by interlocking the normal operation pattern of the refrigerator with the operation of an ion generator without requiring a separate device and a control means therefor and the sterilizing function for the inside of the storage compartments can be optimized by uniformly distributing the ions and ozone generated by the ion generator into the storage compartments and a method of controlling the refrigerator. SOLUTION: This refrigerator comprises the storage compartments, a circulation fan for circulating cool air into each storage compartment through a cool air flow passage, a damper part formed at the predetermined portion of the cool air passage to control the opening of the cool air passage connected to each storage compartment, the ion generating part for generating ions in each storage compartment, and a control part controlling the concentration of ozone generated in each storage compartment by controlling the operation of the ion generating part according to the opening of the damper part.
