ABSTRACT:
A temperature controlling method for a refrigerator and an apparatus therefor are provided, in which a sensing error between temperature sensors is corrected, thereby maintaining the interior temperature of the refrigeration compartment in equilibrium. The temperature controlling method includes the steps of: sensing temperatures of the different locations within the refrigeration compartment using the plurality of temperature sensors several times when the temperatures in the refrigeration compartment are in equilibrium; calculating the average temperatures of the respective temperature sensors from a number of the temperatures respectively sensed by the plurality of temperature sensors; selecting one of the plurality of temperature sensors as a reference sensor and calculating error values of the average temperatures of the remaining temperature sensors with respect to that of the reference sensor; adding the error values of the respective temperature sensors to the temperatures directly sensed by the corresponding temperature sensors to obtain corrected temperature values; and controlling discharge of cool air based on the corrected temperature values. Also, the temperature controlling apparatus includes an operator for calculating corrected temperature values and a controller for controlling the discharge of the cool air.
