When the ice storage amount is small, the fan 10 for forcibly circulating the cool air is operated at a speed higher than the normal operation speed ( ST3)
Make ice.

Next, when the ice storage amount is large after the ice making is started, if the operation elapsed time t exceeds a predetermined set elapsed time t0 (ST4), the ice making detection sensor 14b detects the ice making completion set temperature value T2. It is determined whether or not the detected temperature T has reached (ST5). If it has reached, ice making is determined to be completed, and the ice removing operation (ST6) is performed. Then, the detected temperature T detected by the ice making detection sensor 14b is set. If the temperature becomes higher than the set temperature value T1 after water supply, it is determined that water has been supplied to the ice tray 14a (ST7), and the process returns to the ice detecting operation of step ST1 and repeats the above steps.

If the amount of stored ice is small after the ice making is started, and if the operation elapsed time t exceeds a predetermined set elapsed time t1 (ST8), the ice making detection sensor 14b detects the ice making completion set temperature value T2 as detected. It is determined whether or not the temperature T has reached (ST9). If it has reached, ice making is determined to be completed, and the ice removing operation (ST6) is performed. Then, the water supply set at the detection temperature T detected by the ice making detection sensor 14b is set. If the temperature becomes higher than the post-set temperature value T1, it is determined that water has been supplied to the ice tray 14a (ST7), and the process returns to the ice detecting operation of step ST1 to repeat the above steps.

If the operation elapsed time t has not passed the predetermined set elapsed time t0 or t1 (ST4 or ST8), the detected temperature T detected by the ice making detection sensor 14b is equal to the ice making completion set temperature value T2. If it has not reached (ST5 or ST9), normal operation continues (S5).
T2) or the high-speed rotation operation (ST3) is continued. In step ST7, when the detected temperature T detected by the ice making detection sensor 14b is lower than the set temperature value T1 after water supply, the temperature detecting operation of the ice making detection sensor 14b (ST7) is repeated.

If the amount is large, the operation frequency of the compressor 11 is operated at a normal operation frequency (ST10). If the ice storage amount is small, the operation frequency of the compressor 11 is operated at a higher frequency than the normal operation frequency (ST11). ).

FIG. 5 shows the flow of the third embodiment. The difference from FIG. 3 is that the ice detecting lever 14d performs the ice detecting operation and detects the amount of ice storage (ST1). If the amount is large, the operation elapsed time t of the blower 10 that forcibly circulates cool air is set to the normal set elapsed time t0 after the ice making is started (S
