DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above configuration, when the temperature becomes equal to or higher than the temperature set by the defrosting end temperature setting means, or when the time set by the defrosting time setting means elapses. Although the defrosting operation is terminated by the output in the case of, there are several causes described below as possible causes when the set time elapses before the temperature becomes equal to or higher than the set temperature. That is, when the amount of frost on the evaporator cannot be completely defrosted, or when the temperature sensor is abnormal and the temperature does not reach the end temperature or higher, or when the defrosting means does not operate properly. That is the case. Although there are such causes, in the above-described configuration, the defrosting operation is simply ended without taking a solution to these causes. For this reason, even if the amount of frost on the evaporator is significantly different between when the ambient temperature of the storage is normal and when it is low such as in winter, an appropriate defrosting operation that matches the changes in the ambient conditions can be performed. There is a problem that it cannot be executed, the defrosting cycle cannot be changed according to the type of stored material and the cooling temperature, and furthermore, the abnormality of the temperature sensor cannot be detected.

1. A defrosting start command means for outputting a defrosting start signal when the operating time of a compressor included in a refrigerating cycle for cooling a storage exceeds a set value, and an evaporator by the defrosting start signal. The defrosting means for executing the defrosting operation, the clocking means for starting by the defrosting start signal and outputting the first defrosting end signal after a lapse of a predetermined time, and the temperature of the evaporator becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature. A defrosting end command means for outputting a second defrosting end signal, and a control means for ending the defrosting operation of the defrosting means by one of the first and second defrosting end signals. The defrosting control device for a storage, wherein the control means reduces the set value of the defrosting start command means when the defrosting operation is terminated by the first defrosting termination signal.
