  • Patent number: 10345029
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a door having a user interface electrical module and a user interface housing fixed to a heat insulating material. The user interface housing has a first receiving space which is open towards a side of the door to receive the user interface electrical module. A handle member includes a covering portion for closing the open side of the first receiving space and a grip portion located in front of a handle groove. A rear wall of the user interface housing facing the handle groove forms a rear boundary of the handle groove. The thickness of the heat insulating material of the door which is occupied by the handle groove can therefore be reduced.
