Abstract: A refrigerator including an improved lower cover. The refrigerator comprises a main body having a storage compartment defined therein, and a lower cover mounted to the lower end of the front part of the main body such that the front part of the lower cover and the front part of the main body together form the same plane, wherein the lower cover is provided with an engaging member bent from the upper end of the lower cover toward the rear of the main body while being extended a prescribed length, the engaging member being successively formed in the lateral direction thereof, and wherein the main body is provided at the bottom part thereof with an engaging groove corresponding to the engaging member of the lower cover, the engaging member of the lower cover being engaged with the engaging groove of the main body.

Abstract: A refrigerator having a temperature controlled chamber partitioned from a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment. Air is circulated between the freezer compartment and the temperature controlled chamber through air inlet and outlet ports, thus cooling the temperature controlled chamber. An intake damper is installed in the air inlet port, and a fan is mounted at a rear portion of the temperature controlled chamber. The intake damper has a thin plate, thus opening the air inlet port in response to the air flowing into the temperature controlled chamber when the cooling fan is operated, and closing the air inlet port in response to a stoppage of flow of the air when the cooling fan stops. Further, a temperature sensor is mounted in the temperature controlled chamber to control operation of the fan, thus allowing an interior of the temperature controlled chamber to be maintained at a predetermined temperature.

Abstract: A refrigerator, including a cabinet having an inner casing to define an inner surface of the refrigerator and an outer casing to define an outer surface of the refrigerator, a machine room defined by the outer casing so as to be provided outside the outer casing, a cooling compartment defined by the inner casing, a compressor installed at a predetermined position of the machine room, a cooling set installed at a predetermined position of the cooling compartment, having an evaporator, and a flexible refrigerant pipe connecting the compressor to the evaporator.

Abstract: A refrigerator having a draining unit to drain defrost water, produced by both an evaporator and a refrigerant pipe, to an outside of a cabinet thereof. The refrigerator having a storage compartment defined in the cabinet, with an evaporator provided in the cabinet to supply cool air to the storage compartment. A first defrost water tray having a first drain port is positioned under the evaporator to drain the defrost water produced by the evaporator. A second defrost water tray is positioned under both the refrigerant pipe extending to the evaporator and the first drain port of the first defrost water tray, so as to guide a draining of the defrost water produced by the refrigerant pipe and the defrost water drained from the first drain port of the first defrost water tray. The second defrost water tray having a second drain port which is connected to a drain guide hose.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a main body formed with a storage compartment, a door hingedly connected to the main body; and at least one shelf provided inside the storage compartment, the shelf comprising: a glass on which foodstuffs are laid; a glass supporter coupled to edges of the glass; a pair of supporting brackets provided in opposite sides of the glass supporter and supported onto a wall of the storage compartment; and a coupler coupling the glass supporter with the supporting bracket.

Abstract: A refrigerator including a body provided therein with a storage chamber, an uplifted part projected from a rear portion of a top of the body so that a cooling room is formed to have a space extending above the storage chamber, a machine room provided above a front portion of the top of the body and in front of the uplifted part, a cooling unit removably disposed in the cooling room, an evaporator and a cold air circulating fan provided in a cold air passage of the cooling unit, and circulating passages formed in upper and rear portions of the storage chamber, respectively, to be connected to the cold air passage of the cooling unit.

Abstract: A cabinet for recessed refrigerators, which has an integrated single inner casing. The cabinet has an outer casing to define an appearance of the cabinet, the outer casing being a box-shaped body open at the front thereof, and an integrated single inner casing installed in the outer casing, with a predetermined space defined between the inner and outer casings. The integrated single inner casing defines therein at least two storage compartments open at the fronts thereof, with a partition wall formed between the at least two storage compartments to maintain a predetermined gap between the storage compartments. The cabinet according to the present invention has an improved appearance and a stable structure, in addition to reducing the number of elements thereof, and improving assembly efficiency.

Abstract: A refrigerator in which a machine room and an air cooling chamber having an evaporator, are placed at a top of a cabinet to maximize the storage capacity of lower sections of storage compartments. The refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment therein. A top projection part is formed by projecting a rear portion of a top of the cabinet upward. The top projection part defines the air cooling chamber therein, such that the air cooling chamber extends upward from an upper portion of the storage compartment. The machine room is defined on the top of the cabinet at a position in front of the top projection part, and receives a compressor and a condenser therein.
