Disclosed is a refrigerator that includes a main body having a cooling chamber. The refrigerator also includes a door coupled to the main body and configured to open and close the cooling chamber. The refrigerator further includes a home bar positioned at a front surface of the door and configured to provide access to contents of the refrigerator without opening the door. In addition, the refrigerator includes a heater positioned at the home bar and configured to adjust an amount of heat based on an ambient temperature.

A condenser for a refrigerator includes an inline arrangement in which a refrigerant tube is arranged such that refrigerant tube parts are arranged in lines in the forward and backward direction, and a staggered arrangement in which the refrigerant tube parts are arranged at the rear side of the inline arrangement in the forward and backward direction to misaligned with each other, such that the difference of air flow between a front side and a rear side thereof is minimized when heat exchange with ambient air in the condenser is performed by blowing operation of a cooling fan installed to a side of the condenser.

Condenser of refrigerator

A refrigerator includes: a refrigerator body having a cooling chamber for storing food items and a mechanic chamber provided at one side thereof; a heat exchanger disposed in the mechanic chamber and performing heat exchanging while a refrigerant passes therethrough; a cross flow fan disposed facing the heat exchanger and blowing air for heat exchange; and a compressor mounted inside the mechanic chamber and compressing a refrigerant. A space for the mechanic chamber can be reduced, and thus, a cooling chamber for keeping food items can be enlarged.
