    Abstract: When a door of a refrigerator door is closed, there is provided a passage which remains open to communicate the interior of the refrigerator with air outside of the refrigerator for a predetermined time period in order to enable pressures inside and outside of the refrigerator to be equalized. Thus, the door can be subsequently opened more easily.
