<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent temperature rise of a freezer section and to reduce power consumption by preventing freezing of a water supply pipe even though the current carrying rate of a heater is lowered, in a refrigerator provided with an automatic ice making device. <P>SOLUTION: The second opening part 35 of the water supply pipe 33 is prevented from being cooled by cold air fed from a blower by winding a heat insulating member 39 around the second opening part 35 of the water supply pipe 33. Thereby, a lowering in temperature of the water supply pipe 33 is prevented, the current carrying rate of the heater can be lowered, the temperature rise of the freezer section is prevented, and also power consumption can be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
