Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cool air flow path for an ice making compartment and a cool air flow path for a freezing compartment. The cool air flow paths are integrally formed on opposed surfaces between a shroud and a grill fan. A freezing fan and an ice making fan are collectively installed at the shroud. The cool air flow path for the ice making compartment and the cool air flow path for the freezing compartment are defined between the grill fan and the shroud by the operation of intimately coupling the shroud to the grill fan.
