A refrigerator including a housing mounted at a rear surface of a door to define a storage space of food, a basket disposed inside the housing, a duct extending to the housing from one side of an evaporator to supply cold air generated by the evaporator into the storage space of the housing, and a fan assembly coupled to the duct to allow the cold air to be forcibly supplied.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes a cabinet including an outer case forming an external appearance and a storage compartment, a refrigerator door coupled to the cabinet to open or close the storage compartment, an installation bracket coupled to the outer case inside the outer case, a door opening device installed in the installation bracket outside the outer case and including a push member for opening or closing the refrigerator door, and a buffer member disposed a coupling portion between the door opening device and the installation bracket.

A control method for controlling a refrigerator includes a first step for driving a compressor for compressing a refrigerant and a fan for moving air, a second step for driving the compressor and stopping the fan, a third step for stopping the compressor and driving the fan, and a fourth step for stopping the compressor and the fan.

Refrigerator and control method therefor

Disclosed is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment, an inner case () configured to define an external appearance of the storage compartment, a first door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the first door being configured to open or close one side of the storage compartment, a second door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the second door being configured to open or close a remaining side of the storage compartment, the second door having a pillar () configured to be rotated so as to come into contact with the first door, and a transfer member () provided inside the inner case () so as to guide rotation of the pillar () by detecting rotation of the second door, and the pillar () is spaced apart from both a top wall of the inner case and a bottom wall of the inner case () so as not to come into contact with the inner case () in a state in which the second door seals the storage compartment.

A control method for a refrigerator comprises driving a first cooling fan to cool a first storage chamber; adjusting a damper to cause cold air to simultaneously flow through first and second cold-air passages; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the first cold-air passage, when the temperature of a high-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the high-temperature chamber; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the second cold-air passage, when the temperature of a low-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the low-temperature chamber; and driving a second cooling fan to cool a second storage chamber. When a predetermined time elapses or the sensed temperature of the high-temperature chamber reaches a first set temperature, the damper is adjusted to increase the opening angle of the first cold-air passage.

Control method for refrigerator

A control method for a refrigerator comprises: sensing a temperature of a first storage chamber; increasing an output of a first cooling fan if the temperature reaches a value greater than or equal to a second reference temperature; reducing the output of the first cooling fan if the temperature reaches a value less than or equal to a first reference temperature; increasing the output of the first cooling fan if a first reference time has passed after the temperature has reached the value or if the temperature reaches a first setting temperature between the first reference temperature and the second reference temperature; and reducing the output of the first cooling fan if a second reference time has passed after the output of the first cooling fan has been changed, or if the temperature reaches a preset second setting temperature between the first setting temperature and the first reference temperature.

Disclosed is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet () configured to define a first storage region in which food is stored, a door () rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft via a first hinge member () to open or close the first storage region, the first rotating shaft being located at the front of the cabinet (), a gasket provided at the door () and a container () configured to define a second storage region, the second storage region being received in the first storage region, the container () being rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft via a second hinge member (), the second rotating shaft being located at the door ().

A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a first storage compartment and an opening at a front side of the first storage compartment, an inner door that is configured to open and close at least a portion of the first storage compartment and that defines a second storage compartment configured to store one or more items, an outer door configured to open and close at least a portion of the second storage compartment, a cold air supply unit configured to supply cold air to each of the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment, and a cold air duct located in the first storage compartment and configured to, based on the inner door being oriented in an open position or a closed position, selectively communicate with the cold air supply unit and the second storage compartment.

A control method for a refrigerator comprises: decreasing an output of at least one of a cold air supply means for a first storage chamber or stopping the cold air supply means, if a sensed temperature of the first storage chamber reaches a value less than or equal to a second reference temperature; increasing the output, if a certain time has passed after the temperature has reached the value less than or equal to the second reference temperature, or if the temperature reaches a first specific value between a first reference temperature and the second reference temperature; and decreasing the output or stopping the cold air supply means, if a certain time has passed after the output of the air supply means has been changed in a previous step, or if the temperature reaches a preset second specific value between the first specific value and the second reference temperature.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment, a sliding shelf configured to discharge forward from the compartment, a folding shelf configured to, based on rotation of the folding shelf, switch positions between a first position in which the folding shelf is disposed along a plane of the sliding shelf and a second position in which the folding shelf is disposed transverse to the plane, a hinge unit configured to couple the folding shelf to a side surface of the compartment, a rotation stopper located on the side surface and configured to resist rotation of the folding shelf, and a supporter that is configured to support the folding shelf based on the folding shelf being disposed at the first position and that includes a protrusion at a bottom surface of the folding shelf, and a press portion at the hinge unit and configured to press the protrusion.

A refrigerator including a housing attached to a rear surface of a door to define a storage space of food, a basket disposed inside the housing, and a fan assembly installed at a top surface part of the housing, wherein the fan assembly supplies cold air from a storage compartment toward the basket, and wherein the fan assembly includes a blowing fan generating a blowing force, and a shroud guiding the flow of cold air passing through the blowing fan.
