Refrigerator

A refrigerator including an ice maker; an ice bucket including a first position guide; and a pad mountable to the ice bucket and including a base, an inclined member, and a second position guide. When the pad is being mounted to the ice bucket, the second position guide couples with the first position guide to guide positioning of the pad in the ice bucket so that, when the pad is mounted to the ice bucket, the base is in a front portion of the ice bucket and the inclined member is in a rear portion of the ice bucket and is inclined to the base. When the pad is mounted to the ice bucket and the ice bucket is positioned under the ice maker, ice produced by the ice maker falls into the ice bucket and is transferred by the inclined member to the base.

A refrigerator comprises a body comprising a storage compartment, the storage compartment comprising a first storage compartment, and a second storage compartment, and a partition wall to separate the storage compartment into the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment, a first control valve configured to control a flow of water received from an external water supply source, an ice maker configured to generate ice using the water discharged from the first control valve, a second control valve configured control a flow of the water discharged from the first control valve, a dispenser comprising an operating lever configured to supply the water received from the second valve, and an automatic water supply device configured to supply the water received from the second valve to a water container and configured to control the water container to be filled with a predetermined amount of water.

A refrigerator including a main body having a storeroom, an inner door rotatably coupled to the main body and having a door opening, an outer door rotatably arranged in front of the inner door to open or close the door opening, a dispenser including a water-intake space and an operation lever and configured to supply water to the water-intake space by manipulation of the operation lever, and an automatic water supplier including a water container installation space formed to have a water container mounted and a water level sensor configured to detect a water level of the water container, and configured to supply water into the water container to fill the water container with a certain amount of water.
