Abstract
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a refrigerator configured to improve main body stiffness, which is decreased as thickness of an insulation material is reduced to increase inner capacity of the main body, using a reinforcement structure, resulting in reduction of deformation of the main body. Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a refrigerator in which an electronic box including various electronic constituent elements needed to control the operation of the refrigerator is disposed in a hinge cover provided in a forward direction of an upper part of the main body, resulting in improved space utilization (or space occupancy). Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a refrigerator in which a reinforcement plate formed of steel is contained in the electronic box, such that, although a fire breaks out in constituent elements contained in the electronic box, the refrigerator can prevent the fire from spreading to the outside of the electronic box using the steel reinforcement plate.
