Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3764033A1] A control method of a refrigerator, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps in which: a heating element of a sensor which is responsive to a change in the flow rate of air is turned off after being turned on for a predetermined period of time; a first sensing temperature (Ht1) of the heating element is sensed in a state in which the heating element is on, and a second sensing temperature (Ht2) of the heating element is sensed in a state in which the heating element is off; and the amount of frost on an evaporator is sensed on the basis of the temperature difference value between the first sensing temperature (Ht1) and the second sensing detection temperature (Ht2).
