Kind Code:

Abstract:
A refrigerator of the present invention comprises: a storage chamber in which food is stored; a cold air supply means for supplying cold air to the storage chamber; a tray forming an ice-making cell where the cold air causes water to undergo a phase change into ice; a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the water or ice in the ice-making cell; a heater for providing heat to the tray; and a control unit for controlling the heater, wherein when ice-making is completed the control unit controls the heater to be turned on in order to easily separate the ice from the tray, and when a first reference time has elapsed since the heater was turned on and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor reaches a first off reference temperature greater than 0, the control unit controls the heater to be turned off.
