Abstract
Disclosed is a refrigerator in which a space occupied by an evaporating dish can be minimized, evaporation efficiency of defrost water by convection-heat transfer can be improved, air can be easily exhausted in a machine room, and thus the cooling efficiency of a compressor and a condenser can be improved. The refrigerator includes: a cooling apparatus including a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator; a blowing fan blowing air to cool at least one of the compressor and the condenser; a blowing guide duct guiding the air blown by the blowing fan to an exterior; and an evaporating dish installed in a lower portion of the blowing guide duct in order to collect and evaporate defrost water, the evaporating dish having an opened upper portion to communicate with a path of the blowing guide duct.
