A refrigerator includes a temperature control system which supplies cooling air to the freezing and cooling chambers. The system calculates the average temperature of the cooling chamber and determines an optimal position of a variable cooling air injecting louver. The system controls both the injecting direction and the amount of cooling air entering the cooling chamber, for uniformly and actively distributing the cooling air inside the cooling chamber.
