Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a door, and a hinge connecting the door to an upper surface of the cabinet. The hinge includes a mounting part mounted on the cabinet and a hinge pin inserted into the door. The door includes a door body that has a hinge mounting part and is filled with an insulating material, and a panel assembly mounted on a front surface of the door body. The hinge mounting part is recessed into the door body and receives the hinge inserted at a position spaced apart from the upper end of the door body. A pin mounting hole into which the hinge pin is inserted is formed on a lower surface of the hinge mounting part, and an upper opening through which an electric wire directed into the door passes is formed on an upper surface of the hinge mounting part.
