A refrigerator is provided to prevent ices from being wasted by supplying the exact number of ices through operations of a detector and a controller. A refrigerator comprises an ice storage unit(130) and a guide unit(140). The ice storage unit stores ices and has a transfer member that transfers a predetermined number of ices to an outlet provided at one side thereof. The guide unit is installed between the outlet of the ice storage unit and a discharge port formed at the outer side of the refrigerator. A detector is provided at the guide unit to count the number of ices that pass through the guide unit. A controller compares the input number of ices with the number of ices counted by the detector to control an operation of the transfer member according to the comparison results. An input unit is provided at the outer side of the refrigerator and receives the desired number of ices.
