A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage chamber, a door provided to the main body, including an outer door and a door liner. The door liner includes support steps, a liner plate, and a seating step that define an installation space. An ice maker is located at least partially in the installation space. A cold air duct is provided in one side of the storage chamber to supply the ice maker with cold air. An ice maker cover is provided having a cold air inlet on a top portion thereof and a viewing window on a lower portion thereof. The viewing window allows the ice maker to be seen from outside of the ice maker cover. An ice bank is removably located below the ice maker to transfer ice received from the ice maker to a dispenser.

Ice-making device for refrigerator

A refrigerator capable of preventing the drooping of a bin when the bin is pulled out of the storage space is provided. The refrigerator does not need to fit a guide device when users push the bin into the storage space, since the bin is completely separated from the guide device.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator including a main body having a storage chamber, a door provided to the main body to selectively open or close the storage chamber, the door including an outer door defining a front external appearance of the door, and a door liner defining a rear external appearance of the door, the door liner including support steps vertically extending along both sides of the door liner, a liner plate interconnecting the support steps, and a seating step horizontally extending from the door liner, the support steps and the seating step defining an installation space, an ice bank removably located on the door liner, and an ice maker cover located above the ice bank.

The present invention relates to a door assembly and refrigerator having the same. The door assembly according to the present invention includes a door main body, a panel disposed on a front surface of the door main body, and a side cover coupled at least one of a left side portion and a right side portion of the door main body and supporting the panel, wherein the side cover is provided with screw coupling portions concaved from an external surface and protruded from an inner surface along an insertion direction of screws and screw holes formed by penetrating the screw coupling portions, and the door main body is provided with inference-avoiding space portions for receiving the screw coupling portions therein. Accordingly, it is capable of preventing inferiority of the side cover and of reducing the amount of used materials.

Door assembly and refrigerator having the same

Method of assembling a refrigerator

The present invention relates to a door assembly and refrigerator having the same. The door assembly according to the present invention includes a door main body, a panel disposed on a front surface of the door main body, a handle having at least one end coupled to an upper end or a lower end of the door main body, and a cover provided with a handle receiving portion allowing an upper end or a lower end of the handle to be received therein and coupled to the upper end or the lower end of the door main body so as to support the panel. Accordingly, it is capable of replacing the cover without disassembling the handle.

An ice-making device for a refrigerator includes an ice maker for making ice, which is provided on a backside of a door of the refrigerator; and an ice maker cover for selectively opening or closing the ice maker. Fixing recesses are formed to be open downwardly on outsides of both sides of the ice maker cover, and receive fixing protrusions provided at corresponding positions on opposite sides of a pair of support steps that protrude rearward from both side ends of the backside of the door by a predetermined length and are formed to be elongated in an up and down direction. Play prevention steps are provided at lower ends of both sides of the ice maker cover and are seated on play prevention ribs provided to be elongated in a horizontal direction at corresponding positions of the opposite sides of the support steps below the fixing protrusions.

A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage space and a door selectively opening or closing the storage space. The ice-making device includes an ice maker installed on a backside of the door for making ice; a cold air duct provided in one side of the storage space and supplying the ice maker with a portion of cold air supplied to the storage space; an ice maker cover detachably installed on the backside of the door to selectively open or close the ice maker; and an ice bank detachably installed on the backside of the door below the ice maker, the ice bank storing ice made in the ice maker and transferring it to a dispenser provided on the door.

Disclosed related to a refrigerator according to the present invention capable of preventing the drooping of bin when the bin is pulled out of the storage space. Further, the refrigerator does not need to fit guide device when users push the bin into the storage space, since the bin is completely separated from the guide device.

A shelf assembly mounting structure for a refrigerator includes stoppers respectively provided on both sides of a shelf assembly, a plurality of supporting ribs respectively provided on both side surfaces of a storage space, the supporting ribs being formed to extend in a fore and aft direction of the storage space to support a bottom surface of the shelf assembly; and a plurality of guide slots respectively provided in upper surfaces of the supporting ribs, the stopper sliding in the guide slot in a state where the stopper is positioned therein when the shelf assembly is moved in the fore and aft direction of the storage space. The stopper is moved in the fore and aft direction along the guide slot and brought into contact with front and rear ends of the guide slot, whereby a moving distance of the shelf assembly is restricted.

Installation structure of shelf assembly for refrigerator and refrigerator comprising the same

A method for transmitting a call signal through a digital channel while in an analog area is provided which allows for enhanced speech and transmission quality while in the analog area. When a call is originated in an analog area, a mobile communication terminal scans a most recently used (MRU) table to locate a digital channel which matches a digital channel available in the analog area. If there is a match, the call is placed through the available digital channel. If none of the digital channels in the MRU table matches the available digital channel, then the call is placed through an analog channel.
