    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a body, a refrigerating compartment provided inside the body, a freezing compartment positioned at a lower portion of the refrigerating compartment and provided inside the body, an ice-making compartment provided inside the body and provided with an insulated space that is separated from the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, and an ice-making compartment door to insulate the ice-making compartment from an outside and rotatably installed at the body as to open/close the ice-making compartment. Cooling efficiency is improved by completely separating the ice-making compartment from the freezing compartment and the refrigerating compartment, and user convenience is improved by separately installing the ice-making compartment door.

    Abstract: An ice-making tray according to the concept of the present invention is capable of making ice at high speed and improving the transparency of ice by providing a second tray having ice cells for storing ice-making water to be coupled, in an overlapping manner, to the upper surface of a first tray which is in contact with a refrigerant pipe. The first tray may be formed of an aluminum material, the second tray may be formed of a plastic material, and the first tray formed of an aluminum material can efficiently function as a heat exchanger of an ice-making space due to having high thermal-conductivity. In the second tray, a fixing part for fixing the ice-making tray inside the ice-making space, a shaft accommodating part for accommodating the rotation shaft of an ejector, a temperature sensor accommodating part for accommodating a temperature sensor, and an air insulating part for insulating the ice-making tray and an ice separating motor may be formed integrally.

    Abstract: A refrigerator including an ice maker; an ice bucket positionable under the ice maker and including a first position guide; and a pad mountable to the ice bucket and including a base, an inclined member, and a second position guide. The pad and the bucket are configured so that, (a) when the pad is being mounted to the ice bucket, the second position guide couples with the first position guide to guide positioning of the pad in the ice bucket so that, when the pad is mounted to the ice bucket, the base is in a front portion of the ice bucket and the inclined member is in a rear portion of the ice bucket and is inclined to the base, and (b) when the pad is mounted to the ice bucket and the ice bucket is positioned under the ice maker, ice produced by the ice maker falls into the ice bucket and is transferred by the inclined member to the base.
