A refrigerator including a main body having a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, a refrigerating compartment door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close at least a part of the refrigerating compartment, an ice-making compartment, an ice maker disposed in the ice-making compartment to make ice, a dispenser to dispense ice, an auxiliary door to open and close the ice-making compartment, and a cold air duct connecting the ice-making compartment to the freezing compartment to cool the ice-making compartment. The ice maker including an ice-making tray that is rotatable and a cold air guide that is deformable and restorable and fixed to the ice-making tray.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator including an ice making tray in which ice is generated, an ice bucket to store ice separated from the ice making tray, a full ice detection lever to rotate toward the ice bucket to detect whether the ice bucket is fully filled with ice, a manipulation lever manipulated outside the ice maker to move between a first position and a second position, and a stopper to rotate in conjunction with the movement of the manipulation lever and interfere with the rotation of the full ice detection lever.

A refrigerator having an ice maker with an improved structure. The refrigerator includes an ice maker installable in the door, and including a frame, an ice-making tray which is detachably mounted on the frame, configured to contain ice, and a water bucket which is rotatable while mounted on the frame, configured to supply water to the ice-making tray. The water bucket may include a rotating shaft as a rotation center about which the water bucket is rotatable, and a moving guide spaced apart from the rotating shaft and movable around the rotating shaft. The frame may include a rotating shaft coupling portion to which the rotating shaft is rotatably coupled, and a guide rail on which at least a portion of the moving guide is supported, configured to guide a rotational movement of the water bucket.
