Abstract
Disclosed is a refrigerator having a hinge member assembled with a door for opening/closing a cooling compartment, and a hinge bracket for supporting the hinge member. The hinge member has a hinge pin assembled on a lower comer of the door, and a pin support part for supporting the hinge pin. The hinge bracket is fixed on a body of the refrigerator, and forms a pocket part for accommodating the hinge member so as to be capable of being pulled out upward therefrom. When the width of the refrigerator has to be narrowed in order to pass the refrigerator through a gate of a room, the door is disassembled and then the hinge member is pulled out from the hinge bracket. Thus, the width of the refrigerator can be narrowed without detaching the hinge bracket from the body, and the damage on the hinge member can be prevented while the refrigerator is conveyed.
