Abstract:
A control method includes initially operating a compressor at the same RPM as an operating RPM of the compressor during a previous cycle, adjusting the RPM in consideration of an operation rate of the previous cycle such that the RPM is increased when the operation rate is greater than a first set value, reduced when the operation rate is less than a second set value, and maintained when the operation rate is within a range between the first set value and the second set value, and operating the compressor at the adjusted RPM, the first set value being greater than the second set value.

Claim (Index 1):
A control method of a refrigerator, the refrigerator comprising a cabinet having a storage compartment for storing food therein, a door for opening and closing the storage compartment, an evaporator placed in the storage compartment, a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature inside the storage compartment, a compressor having a variable speed, and a compressor controller for controlling an operation of the compressor via the temperature sensor, the control method comprising:\n a first step of operating the compressor; a second step of terminating the operation of the compressor when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor in the first step reaches a set temperature; a third step of performing the first step and the second step during a plurality of cycles; a fourth step of measuring a compressor operation time and a total time of the cycles while the cycles are performed in the third step; a fifth step of calculating an operation rate by dividing the compression operation time by the total time; a sixth step of comparing the operation rate calculated in the fifth step with a set value; and a seventh step of adjusting a RPM of the compressor based on the comparative result of the sixth step.
