Abstract
Disclosed is a refrigerator having a dispenser comprising: a dispenser case mounted at one side of a refrigerator door; a cold water faucet and a hot water faucet provided in the dispenser case and from which cold water and hot water are supplied; and a dispenser door for opening and closing the dispenser case. In this construction, a hot water button is prevented from being pressed by a child by mistake and thus a child is prevented from getting burned by hot water from the hot water faucet, thereby enhancing a stability. Also, when a cup or a container becomes hot while or after the user gets hot water from the hot water faucet in the cup or the container, the cup or the container can be placed on the dispenser door thereby to enhance the user's convenience.
