Abstract
A refrigerator includes a door including a rotation part protruding outward from a side surface of the door, and a protection member configured to face a side surface part of the door and having at least some parts disposed between the rotation part and the main body when the door is closed, such that a user's finger is prevented from being caught between the main body and the door during rotation of the door. No magnet is installed in the gasket, a separate magnet member is provided while spaced apart from the gasket, thereby reducing the thickness of the gasket, improving the energy efficiency of the refrigerator. A seating member for seating a hot pipe thereon is provided in a partition wall of the refrigerator, thereby minimizing cool air of a storage chamber leaking to the outside.
