Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator is configured to supply cool air to a refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, and an ice-making compartment by a single evaporator. A cool air passage for the ice-making compartment for supplying cool air to the ice-making compartment is configured to supply the cool air to an upper space in a cool air passage for the freezing compartment, which. supplies cool air to the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, through an upper supply passage. Accordingly, since additional cool air is supplied to the cool air passage for the freezing compartment by using the upper supply passage, sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment by the single evaporator.

Abstract: A refrigerator is proposed. The refrigerator includes a refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, and an ice-making compartment. The refrigerating compartment is configured to receive cool air from a refrigerating compartment side grill fan assembly, and the ice-making compartment is configured to be located any one refrigerating compartment door and to receive cool air from a freezing compartment side grill fan assembly with the freezing compartment. The refrigerating compartment side grill fan assembly is configured to supply a greater amount of cool air to the side where the ice-making compartment and the refrigerating compartment side grill fan assembly are located, and to perform cool air supply proportional to temperature influence provided from the ice-making compartment and the refrigerating compartment side grill fan assembly.

Abstract: A refrigerator is proposed. In the refrigerator, a cool air passage for a freezing compartment which guides the flow of cool air to the freezing compartment, and a cool air passage for an ice-making compartment which guides the flow of cool air to the ice-making compartment partially share the cool air with each other. Through the sharing of cool air, the amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment is increased and sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment. Accordingly, sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment, the freezing compartment, and the ice-making compartment even with a single evaporator.
