Abstract
An air conditioner may have a structure in which a snowfall detection device is attached to a grill and a case, and an amount of snow accumulated on the grill is detected in a non-contact manner to control an operation of the air conditioner. The snowfall may be more stably and reliably detected, and also the air conditioner may more stably and reliably operated.
