A refrigerator with a switchable hinge assembly which includes a cabinet (10), a door (20) and the hinge assembly (30) for connecting the cabinet (10) and the door (20), wherein the hinge assembly (30) includes a plurality of hinge parts (31,32), and a switching assembly (40); when the door (20) is in an opening process, the switching assembly (40) controls the plurality of hinge parts (31,32) to successively operate in a first sequence, and when the door (20) is in a closing process, the switching assembly (40) controls the plurality of hinge parts (31,32) to successively operate in a second sequence, and the first sequence is opposite to the second sequence. An opening-closing freedom degree of the door (20) may be increased by the refrigerator with the switchable hinge assembly, and various motion tracks may be generated to adapt to different application scenarios.
