Abstract
Provided is a method for controlling a refrigerator. The method includes turning on power of the refrigerator and starting a compressor; setting a predetermined power consumption parameter to a default value; measuring power consumption within a set period during an operation of the refrigerator; recognizing whether the measured power consumption is smaller than previous power consumption; and changing a value of the power consumption parameter when the measured power consumption is greater than the previous power consumption.
