Title:
REFRIGERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/152035
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator provided with an ice making device which prevents an event that the movement of an ice tray is stopped while the ice tray is inclined because the ice tray cannot be stopped at a predetermined position by erroneously detecting the position of the ice tray during an ice removing operation. The refrigerator is provided with an ice tray to which a predetermined amount of water is supplied, an ice removing motor which rotates the ice tray when the water in the ice tray is solidified into ice, so that the ice is removed, an ice storage box which stores the ice removed from the ice tray, and a position detection means which detects the rotational position of the ice removing motor and whether or not the ice storage box is fully filled with the ice. The refrigerator is characterized in that the position detection means detects that the ice storage box is fully filled with ice during a normal rotation of the ice removing motor; and a control device which does not perform a control operation for a predetermined period of time on the basis of the signal from the position detection means during a reverse rotation of the ice removing motor, is provided.
