Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet provided with a storage compartment; a door rotatably installed at the cabinet and configured to open and close the storage compartment; a hinge assembly configured to rotatably connect the door to the cabinet; and a damper configured to move in association with a rotation of the door, and to generate a damping force by contacting the hinge assembly. The damper is provided in such a way that the damper surface-contacts the hinge assembly.
