A refrigerator and method for controlling the refrigerator including a plurality of storage chambers, in which a defrosting operation is executed based upon operation conditions of the storage chambers, to minimize a degradation in cooling efficiency which may occur when a defrosting operation is carried out in an independent manner for each storage chamber. When the refrigerator control method is applied to a refrigerator including a plurality of storage chambers, and a plurality of heaters to defrost the storage chambers, respectively, the refrigerator control method includes determining whether defrosting is required, for each of the plurality of the storage chambers, and selecting, from the plurality of the storage chambers, storage chambers having similar temperature ranges, when if is determined that defrosting is required, and controlling the plurality of the heaters to collectively defrost the selected storage chambers.
