<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator capable of performing energy-saving operation with a low-cost structure.SOLUTION: A refrigerator includes: a blowout air passage 11 having a blowout port 10 blowing out cool air into a refrigerating chamber; a return air passage 13 having a suction port 12 sucking the cool air in the refrigerating chamber; and temperature detection means 18 detecting temperature in the refrigerating chamber. The refrigerator is structured so that an adjacent space 17 adjacent to the blowout air passage is formed and the temperature detection means is provided in the adjacent space so as to cool the adjacent space even by cool air from a cooling fan 8, and is also structured so that adjustment means 23 selecting whether the adjacent space is cooled or not is provided. According to such a structure, management temperature in a refrigerating chamber 2 can be changed depending on whether the adjacent space is cooled or not, and the temperature in the refrigerating chamber is set to rather high to enable energy-saving operation with a low-cost and highly-reliable structure.</p> |
