Abstract
Disclosed by the present application are a refrigerator, and a method and a device for controlling the refrigerator. The method includes detecting and confirming that a refrigerator is in a first control cycle after defrosting; detecting and confirming that an ice making evaporator requests cooling, and controlling a control valve to be in communication with an ice making circuit. The method controls the refrigerant to preferentially enter the ice making circuit after the refrigerator defrosts, thereby effectively reducing the time that an ice making compartment is in a high-temperature state due to defrosting, and decreasing the risk that ice cubes might be adhered to each other due to ice cubes melting and then re-freezing. As a result, the long-term high-quality storage of ice cubes is achieved.
