Abstract
A door opening prevention device is provided for a refrigerator. Stoppers are provided on both sides of a stopper plate provided on a ceiling of a refrigerating chamber. First and second doors for selectively opening and closing the refrigerating chamber are provided with catching hooks, respectively. When the first door and the second door close the refrigerating chamber, by allowing the catching hooks to be caught by the stoppers, the first and second doors are prevented from being inadvertently opened. In addition, a leaf spring 61 is provided which provides the catching hooks with an elastic force that prevents the catching hooks from being inadvertently detached from the stoppers in a state in which the catching hooks are caught to the stoppers this structure prevents during the opening and closing operation of any one of the doors the other door from being opened.
