A door-opening-assisted embedded refrigerator which includes a cabinet, a door and a hinge assembly, the cabinet includes a rear wall and an opening, and a direction from the rear wall towards the opening serves as a first direction; the hinge assembly includes a first hinge part, a second hinge part and a switching assembly; when the door is in an opening process, the first hinge part moves relative to the switching assembly, and then, the second hinge part moves relative to the switching assembly; the hinge assembly drives the door to rotate in situ relative to the cabinet, then drives the door to move away from the cabinet in the first direction, and then drives the door to continuously rotate in situ. The refrigerator can increase an opening-closing freedom degree of the door, and can adapt to different application scenarios.
