The door has a door main body, a door handle movably disposed on the door main body to actuate the door main body to be easily opened, a slider protruding toward the refrigerator main body in response to movement of the door handle, and a driving force transfer unit. The driving force transfer unit may be located between the door handle and slider to transfer a driving force, generated upon pulling the door handle, to the slider. The door further includes a pocket housing partially buried into the door main body and receiving therein the door handle. The slider and the driving force transfer unit may be individually detachable. This configuration facilitates opening of the refrigerator and inspection and replacement of components of the driving force transfer unit. |
