Abstract: An ice supply device and a refrigerator having the same. The ice supply device includes an ice tray provided with an outlet for discharging ice cubes therethrough at one side thereof, a conveying device installed in the ice tray and rotated to convey the ice cubes toward the outlet, an ice crushing device, installed at the outlet, for crushing the ice cubes conveyed toward the outlet, a pressure device having a hollowed cylindrical structure for pushing the ice cubes to the ice crushing device by applying pressure to the ice cubes, and a catching member, by which the ice cubes outwardly protruded from an inlet of the pressure device are caught. The ice cubes exceeding designated dimensions, which do not pass through the pressure device and are outwardly protruded from the pressure device, are caught by the catching member and are sliced away from main portions of the ice cubes, thereby reducing the sizes of the ice cubes and allowing the ice cubes to be smoothly supplied.

Abstract: A refrigerator for preventing the generation of frost and a control method of the refrigerator. The refrigerator includes an ice cube tray, a water supply unit for supplying water for making ice cubes to the ice cube tray, an air blast unit for circulating cooled air, and a controller for preventing the operation of the air blast unit in a water supply mode, in which the water is supplied to the ice cube tray.
