<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator in which a touch switch using a capacitance type sensor, and light-emitting diode are incorporated and which is improved in appearance design.SOLUTION: A refrigerator includes: a door 22 blocking the front face opening part of a refrigerator body; a touch switch 36 mounted on the door and structured by using a capacitance type sensor detecting capacitance; a light-emitting diode 46; a detecting electrode 42 of the touch switch; and a transparent plate 40 overlapped on the detecting electrode. The light-emitting diode 46 is incorporated in the touch switch, and is provided with: a transparent part 62 displaying the light-emitting diode 46 to the outside via lighting; and an opaque part 64. The light-emitting diode 46 is located in the vicinity of the plate 40, and is disposed at the back of the opaque part 64 so as not to be visible from the front side of the refrigerator via the transparent part 62, and the light emitted by the light-emitting diode 46 is passed through the plate 40 and is indirectly displayed with lighting to the outside via the transparent part 62.</p> |
