Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage space, a water tank provided inside the storage space, a door rotatably connected to the cabinet by a hinge and configured to open and close the storage space, a dispenser provided in the door, and a water supply path connecting the water tank and the dispenser through the hinge and supplying water from the water tank to the dispenser. The water supply path includes a first pipe communicating with an output side of the water tank, a second pipe extending toward the dispenser and at least partially exposed through a rear surface of the cabinet, and a connector connecting an end part of the first pipe and an end part of the second pipe. An inner diameter of the second pipe is smaller than an inner diameter of the first pipe.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a main body having a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, a door for opening or closing the refrigerating compartment or the freezing compartment, a filter unit disposed within the refrigerating compartment for purifying water supplied from a water supply source outside the main body, water tank for receiving the purified water from the filter unit and to cool the received water by using cool air within the refrigerating compartment, and a dispenser disposed in the door to dispense the cooled water stored in the tube tank assembly. The tube tank assembly includes a tube defining a cold water passage that can allow the cooled water to flow therethrough, and a tube support around which the tube is wound multiple times.
