Abstract:
In a refrigerator including: a refrigerating compartment, a compressor for compressing a refrigerant, a refrigerating compartment evaporator for generating a cool air, a refrigerating compartment fan for discharging the cool air into the refrigerating compartment, a door of th e refrigerating compartment, and a door opening/closing sensor for sensing an opening/closing of the door, a uniform cooling apparatus for the refrigerator comprising:a plurality of temperature sensors which are mounted to at least two positions inside of the refrigerating compartment in order to sense a temperature deviation of the refrigerating compartment; andan air circulation fan which is additionally mounted to the refrigerating compartment, is separated from the refrigerating compartment fan, is turned on if a deviation among temperatures sensed by the plurality of temperature sensors is higher than a predetermined temperature deviation, is turned off if a deviation among temperatures sensed by the plurality of temperature sensors is lower than the predetermined temperature deviation, and makes a uniform cool air in the refrigerating compartment.
