Abstract: A refrigerator may be configured such that a drawer is opened by an opening/closing motor operating by inputting a manipulation of a user and a lifting unit is elevated by a lifting motor, and then the opening/closing motor is again operated, thereby allowing the drawer to be normally closed. After the drawer is normally closed, the opening/closing motor is further operated in a closed direction of the drawer to close the drawer once more to prevent an unintentional slight-opening of the drawer.
