Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4180744A1] The present invention provides a method for controlling an automatic ice maker, an automatic ice maker and a refrigerator. The method for controlling the automatic ice maker comprises: calculating a time period in which the automatic ice maker stops ice making; if the time period in which the automatic ice maker stops ice making exceeds a preset threshold, filling water into an ice-making box of the automatic ice maker and then directly discharging the water out of the ice-making box at least once; and filling water into the ice-making box to make ice cubes.
