摘要

A refrigerator which has a simple structure and is easily controllable to achieve the effective operation of a cold chamber and a storage chamber is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a refrigerator body having a cold chamber defined therein and a storage chamber, of a predetermined cooling space, disposed in the cold chamber, a cool air generation chamber partitioned from the cold chamber, the cool air generation chamber having a cooler mounted therein, the cool air generation chamber defining a main flow channel for supplying cool air to the cold chamber, a bypass flow channel communicating with the cool air generation chamber for bypassing cool air such that the cool air is supplied to the storage chamber, and a fan unit for selectively opening the main flow channel or the bypass flow channel to selectively supply cool air to the cold chamber and the storage chamber.
