Abstract
A fall prevention structure of an electric component cover in a refrigeration cycle apparatus includes an electric component box housing an electric component of a refrigeration cycle apparatus. The electric component box includes a casing, a side of which is open, and an electric component cover configured to cover, in an upright position, an opening of the casing and to be screwed to the casing. The electric component cover includes a catch including a backward-extending portion and an upward-extending portion. The backward-extending portion extends backward from an upper end portion of the electric component cover. The upward-extending portion extends upward from an end portion of the backward-extending portion. In a state in which the electric component cover is screwed to the casing, the catch is inserted into an insertion slot disposed in a portion extending in an up-down direction of the casing. When the electric component cover is unscrewed from the casing, the electric component cover does not fall from the casing by the catch being caught by a portion above the insertion slot.
