REFRIGERATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a consumed electric power, by deciding an amount of the water supply quantity to an ice making tray, and by executing ice making action suitable for the decided water supply quantity.SOLUTION: The refrigerator includes a thawing chamber, a refrigerating room, the ice making tray, a water supply tank holding water for supplying to the ice making tray, a water supplying device for supplying water from a water supplying tank to the ice ma king tray, a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature of the ice making tray, and an ice removing device for carrying out ice removing action. The refrigerator further has a decision means setting a plurality of the thresholds of passing times after carrying out the water supplying action to the ice making tray by the water supplying device and a plurality of thresholds of detected temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and decision in a plurality of stages from no water supplying condition to fully filled condition of the supplied water quantity supplied to the ice making tray based on the plurality of thresholds of the passing times and the plurality of the detected temperatures. The refrigerator further has a control means variably controlling intensity for cooling the inside of the refrigerating chamber based on the decision results of the water supplying quantity when executing the ice making action.
