A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage space, a door configured to open and close the storage space, a gap adjusting member configured to be provided between the door and the cabinet and to adjust a gap between the door and the cabinet, and a seating part configured to protrude from the door and to support the gap adjusting member. The gap adjusting member includes a contact part exposed to the rear of the door and being in contact with the cabinet in a state where the door is closed, and a plurality of adjusting parts protruding from the contact part toward the seating part at different heights from each other. The gap between the door and the cabinet is adjusted by selecting a height of the adjusting part which is in contact with the seating part by rotating the gap adjusting member.

Refrigerator

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.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space and a door configured to open and close the storage space. The door includes a panel assembly including a front panel and an insulating panel spaced apart from the front panel, a door frame that is in contact with the front panel, and a door liner which is connected to the door frame and is in contact with the insulating panel, the door liner being configured to define an insulating space, in which an insulator is disposed, together with the panel assembly and the door frame. The door liner includes a contact surface that is in contact with the insulating panel, and a recessed space is defined on the contact surface.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet; a drawer door assembly including a front panel door part and a drawer part that defines an accommodation space; a rail that movably configured to connect the drawer door assembly to the cabinet and enable the drawer door assembly to insert into and withdraw from the cabinet; a driving device located at the front panel door part and configured to provide power; and an elevation device located in the drawer part and configured to be coupled to the driving device and elevate a portion of the drawer part relative to the front panel door part. The driving device includes: a motor assembly configured to provide driving force; a screw assembly configured to perform an elevation operation based on the driving force; and a lever that connects the screw assembly to the elevation device and that is configured to rotate based on the elevation operation.

A refrigerator of the present embodiment comprises: a cabinet for forming a storage space; and a door for opening/closing the storage space. The door comprises: a frame assembly in which a thermal insulation material is filled; and a panel assembly which is separably-coupled to the frame assembly and forms the front exterior of the door, wherein, in a state where the lower side of the panel assembly is supported on the lower side of the frame assembly, the upper side of the panel assembly is fixed to the upper side of the frame assembly.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The door includes a door body including a door liner, a front plate, a cap decor connected to the door liner and the front plate and having a recessed handle, and an insulator filled between the door liner, the front plate, and the cap decor. The door includes a panel assembly detachably mounted on a front surface of the door body and defining a front surface of the door. The panel assembly includes a panel defining an outer appearance of the front surface of the door and an insertion protrusion protruding backward from the panel and inserted into a front surface of the cap decor when the panel is mounted to restrict the panel assembly. The insertion protrusion extends from the outside of a recessed space of the handle in a direction crossing the recessed space.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The door includes a door liner, a front plate, a first cap decor coupled to the door liner and the front plate, a second cap decor coupled to the door liner and the front plate at a position facing the first cap decor, an insulator filled into a space defined by coupling of the door liner, the front plate, and the cap decors, and a panel assembly disposed detachably in front of the front plate. The panel assembly includes a panel defining an outer appearance of a front surface of the door, a first bracket protruding from a rear surface of the panel and inserted into the first cap decor, and a second bracket provided on the rear surface of the panel and supported by the second cap decor.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space, and a door configured to open and close the storage space, in which the door includes a frame assembly configured to open and close the storage space, and a panel assembly detachably coupled to the frame assembly and configured to form a front outer appearance of the door, the frame assembly includes an upper extension part extending forward and a first coupling part provided on the upper extension part, the panel assembly includes a front panel, and an upper bracket coupled to a rear upper part of the front panel and having a second coupling part coupled to the first coupling part, and the panel assembly moves upward in a state where the second coupling part of the panel assembly is positioned below the first coupling part, so that the second coupling part is coupled to the first coupling part.

A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a cabinet which forms a storage space; and a door which opens/closes the storage space, wherein the door comprises: a frame assembly in which a heat-insulating material is filled; and a panel assembly which is mounted to the front surface of the frame assembly and forms the front exterior of the door. The panel assembly may comprise: a front panel; a panel fixing member which is provided at the rear surface of the front panel; and a bracket for coupling to the frame assembly, the bracket being spaced apart from the panel fixing member in the vertical direction, wherein the panel fixing member passes through the frame assembly and is locked and coupled to one surface of the frame assembly inside the frame assembly.

Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space and a door configured to open and close the storage space. The door includes a panel assembly including a front panel and an insulating panel spaced apart from the front panel, a door frame that is in contact with the front panel, and a door liner which is connected to the door frame and is in contact with the insulating panel, the door liner being configured to define an insulating space, in which an insulator is disposed, together with the panel assembly and the door frame. The door liner includes a contact surface that is in contact with the insulating panel, and a recessed space is defined on the contact surface.
