Abstract: A refrigerator includes a body including at least one storage space having a front opening and formed with a cooling module accommodating space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a cooling module accommodated in the cooling module accommodating space. The cooling module may include a heat radiating part, a heat absorption part, and a cooling module barrier configured to separate the heat radiating part and the heat absorption part. The heat radiating part may include a compressor that compresses refrigerant, a condenser that condenses the refrigerant compressed by the compressor and a condenser fan that blows outdoor air to the condenser, the heat radiating part being disposed eccentrically on one of lateral sides of the cooling module. The heat absorption part including an evaporator that evaporates refrigerant and an evaporator fan that circulates cold air of the storage space to the evaporator and the storage space, the heat absorption being disposed at a lateral side of the heat radiating part. Therefore, it is possible to enable easy connection between the compressor and the evaporator and facilitate each assembly and services such as repair.
