Abstract
A method for controlling a refrigerator having at least two compartments and actuators adapted to maintain temperatures of said compartments close to predetermined set values comprises a comparison between a signal (CCR) indicative of the cooling request of each compartment and a signal variable according to a predetermined carrier function. This comparison is carried out in a predetermined time interval (TW), said actuators being activated or deactivated on the basis of such comparison that is repeated for each subsequent time interval (TW).
