Abstract: Disclosed herein is a refrigerator which includes: a main body having an opening, and including a storage chamber therein; a door configured to open or close the opening; a camera unit disposed in the door, and configured to photograph the storage chamber, wherein the camera unit faces the storage chamber selectively by interworking with opening or closing of the door. With this configuration, it may look in the storage chamber of the refrigerator without opening any door and minimize exposure of the camera unit to the outside.

Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigerator having an improved structure with a display unit. The refrigerator comprises a main body, a storeroom arranged inside the main body with an open front, a door pivotally connected to the main body for opening or closing the open front of the storeroom and a display unit installed on the door. The display unit comprises a display for displaying images, a display glass located on the front of the display to have an area larger than the display and form a touch screen, a display case with a display mounter for the display to be mounted therein, a display unit case fixedly connected to the door and a fixing unit for fixedly connecting the display case to the display unit case by pressing a part of the display case.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a refrigerator, which includes a main body having an opening, and including a storage chamber therein, a door configured to open or close the opening and a speaker assembly disposed in the bottom of the door, and configured to output sound to the outside. With this configuration, it is possible to minimize exposure of the speaker to thereby reduce influences by an external environment.

Abstract: A control method includes determining whether to perform a defrosting operation of an evaporator, closing a valve to prevent refrigerant from moving into the evaporator if implementation of the defrosting operation is determined, performing a refrigerant collecting operation, and opening the valve upon completion of the defrosting operation. Intercepting a flow path of the refrigerant to prevent the refrigerant from moving into the evaporator during defrosting prevents explosion due to leakage of the refrigerant.
