Abstract: The present invention relates to temperature control for refrigerators, which automatically adjusts the on-temp/off-temp values in view of the fluctuation of the ambient temperature. The present invention also relates to a refrigerator on which a sensor of simplified circuit design is reasonably allocated. In accordance with the present invention, ambient temperature is divided into a plurality of particular temperature divisions, the on-temp and off-temp values preferred for refrigerator operation in each corresponding temperature division are determined by experiments. By means of a temperature sensor, on-temp/off-temp values appropriately corresponding to a particular temperature division are applied to keep the temperature of the refrigerator at a required level.
