Abstract: The present invention relates to a door for a refrigerator. The door for a refrigerator of the present invention comprises a front panel 20 which defines a front surface of the door; first and second side decoration bars 30 and 40 which extend along both side edges of the front panel 20 to define side surfaces of the door, respectively; top and bottom decoration caps 24 and 26 which extend along upper and lower edges of the front panel 20 and are fastened to ends of the side decoration bars 30 and 40 to define top and bottom surfaces of the door, respectively; a panel supporting bar 37 which is installed on each of the side decoration bars 30 and 40 and provided with a supporting portion 39 for supporting each side edge on a rear surface of the front panel 20; and a door liner 22 which is installed opposite to the front panel 20 to define a rear surface of the door.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a door handle installation structure of a refrigerator which is capable of installing a door handle more securely to a door of a refrigerator, separating the door handle freely from the door as occasion demands, repairing or replacing the door handle easily when they are damaged, comprising a door having an insulating layer formed inside and at least one combining hole at the front, a holder combined to the front surface of the door having at least one horizontal combining hole and a longitudinal combining hole, a door handle combined to the other side of the holder having a hollow area inside and at least one insertion hole punched on a side of the outer circumference toward the door, a holder combining mean for combining the door to the other side of the holder, and a door handle combining mean for combining the door handle to the other portion of the holder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optimum defrosting cycle method of an inverter refrigerator. In the past, a defrosting cycle setting method for a conventional refrigerator with which a defrosting operation was carried out when the operation time of a compressor reaches a certain amount of time(e.g. 7 hours) by simply accumulating the operation time of the compressor. However, there have been drawbacks since the operation speed of a compressor varies for a high speed, mid speed, and low speed according to the surrounding condition when the conventional method is applied to the inverter refrigerator, it is not relevant to set the defrosting cycle by simply accumulating the operation time.
