Abstract:
1. A control method for a refrigerator comprising an ice maker having an ejector to move ice from an ice making tray, an ice full state sensing lever to detect an ice full state in an ice storage, and an ice making motor allowing the ejector to interact with the ice full state sensing lever and configured to rotate the ice making motor in a first direction and a second direction, the control method comprising: allowing the ejector to perform an ice moving operation by moving the ice making motor of the ice maker in the first direction, and checking whether the ice storage is in an ice full state through a driving of the ice full state sensing lever; and if the ice storage is in the ice full state, allowing the ejector to stop the ice moving operation by rotating the ice making motor of the ice maker in the second direction opposite to the first direction, and checking whether the ice full state of the ice storage is released, through a driving of the ice full state sensing lever.
