Abstract: The present invention provides a control method of a refrigerator, comprising: a first defrosting step of defrosting an evaporator and terminating the defrosting when the evaporator reaches a first temperature; a step of detecting pressure difference by means of a differential pressure sensor for measuring pressure difference between a first thru-hole, disposed between the evaporator and an inlet through which air flows in from a storage compartment, and a second thru-hole disposed between the evaporator and an outlet through which the air is discharged into the storage compartment; and a second defrosting step of additionally defrosting the evaporator if the measured pressure difference is greater than a configured pressure.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet in which a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, each of which has an opened front surface, are defined, and a door configured to open and close the refrigerating compartment. The refrigerating compartment door includes a first door rotatably mounted on the cabinet, and a second door provided in front of the first door and configured to rotate in the same direction as the first door so as to open and close at least a portion of a front surface of the first door. The first door includes an ice-making chamber which is defined in the first door and in which an ice maker is accommodated, and a door storage portion provided in front of the ice-making chamber and opened and closed by the second door to store food.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a body including at least one storage space having a front opening and formed with a cooling module accommodating space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, and a cooling module accommodated in the cooling module accommodating space. The cooling module may include a heat radiating part, a heat absorption part, and a cooling module barrier configured to separate the heat radiating part and the heat absorption part. The heat radiating part may include a compressor that compresses refrigerant, a condenser that condenses the refrigerant compressed by the compressor and a condenser fan that blows outdoor air to the condenser, the heat radiating part being disposed eccentrically on one of lateral sides of the cooling module. The heat absorption part including an evaporator that evaporates refrigerant and an evaporator fan that circulates cold air of the storage space to the evaporator and the storage space, the heat absorption being disposed at a lateral side of the heat radiating part. Therefore, it is possible to enable easy connection between the compressor and the evaporator and facilitate each assembly and services such as repair.

Abstract: A refrigerator may include a body formed with a storage space and a cooling module accommodating space; a cooling module disposed in the cooling module accommodating space and having a heat absorption part and a heat radiating part; a drawer supporter disposed inside the storage space; and a drawer supported by the drawer supporter, and the drawer supporter is formed with an inner passage through which cold air flowing from the heat absorption part passes, and the drawer supporter is formed with a plurality of cold air discharge ports through which cold air of the inner passage is discharged in an opposite direction. Therefore, it is possible to maximize the depth of the storage space in the front-rear direction while minimizing the number of parts, and cool the entire storage space evenly.
