Disclosed is a method for controlling a quick cooling function of a refrigerator. When both compartments are at an abnormal temperature state in a refrigerator the method independently controls a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment. The user selects a quick cooling function for any compartment. This method preferentially controls only selected compartment temperature, reducing the time needed to quickly cool the selected compartment, and thus reducing power-consumption. This method of a refrigerator according to the present invention in a refrigerator independently controlling a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment, includes: a first step in which a quick cooling function of either the freezer compartment or the refrigerating compartment is selected; a second step in which whether a freezer compartment temperature and a refrigerating compartment temperature are higher than each reference temperature which is predetermined on the basis of an abnormal high temperature state in each compartment is determined; and a third step in which a selected compartment for the quick cooling function is preferentially cooled until a predetermined condition is satisfied, when the freezer compartment temperature and the refrigerating compartment temperature are higher than each reference temperature.
