Abstract
A refrigerator has a freezer compartment, a refrigerating compartment, and an evaporator. The refrigerator further has a first bypass passage, a second bypass passage and a cooled air inducing pipe. The first bypass passage allows the cooled air from the refrigerating compartment to flow directly to a fan of the refrigerating compartment, thereby allowing the cooled air to bypass the evaporator. The second bypass passage allows the cooled air from the freezer compartment to flow directly to a fan of the freezer compartment, thereby allowing the cooled air to bypass the evaporator. The cooled air inducing pipe mounted in front of the fan changes the direction of the cooled air and force the cooled air to the refrigerating compartment.
