Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: an evaporator; a defrost heater; a temperature sensor to sense ambient temperature around the evaporator; and a controller to control the defrost heater, wherein the controller is configured to: perform a defrost operation mode in a case of reaching a defrosting operation start time point; perform, based on the defrost operation mode, a continuous operation mode in which the defrost heater is continuously turned on, and a pulse operation mode in which the defrost heater is repeatedly turned on and off; and perform the continuous operation mode again after performing the pulse operation mode. Accordingly, defrosting efficiency may be improved, and power consumption may be reduced.
