1. A temperature control method for a refrigerator, comprising the steps of:

  • calculating a door-opening time when a door-open and a door-close are detected during a cooling operation in which a temperature inside a refrigerating compartment is controlled between a positive limit temperature and a negative limit temperature determined according to a set temperature input by a user;

    obtaining a reset temperature lower than said negative limit temperature in accordance with the door-opening time; and

    executing a cooling operation until a temperature inside the refrigerating compartment reaches the reset temperature, such that a time in which a load temperature is equal to the set temperature is reduced.
