A1

A control method for a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a body and an ice making module, which is arranged on the body, wherein the ice making module comprises an ice making tray for making ice, a water tank for supplying water to the ice making tray, a driving apparatus for driving the turnover of the ice making tray, and an ice storage box for receiving ice that falls down from the ice making tray. The control method comprises: determining a target number of instances of ice making of an ice making tray within a target ice making period; determining the shortest ice making time of a refrigerator according to the target number of instances of ice making and the shortest ice making time of a single ice making instance of the ice making tray; in response to the shortest ice making time not being longer than a power consumption valley period, controlling the refrigerator to complete ice making within the power consumption valley period; and in response to the shortest ice making time being longer than the power consumption valley period, controlling the refrigerator to continuously perform ice making within the power consumption valley period.
