A REFRIGERATOR

摘要

A refrigerator is provided to mount an ice discharge element to a door of a refrigerating compartment for a user to withdraw ice easily without bending his lower back much, and prevent leakage of chilled air from an ice bin or introduction of room air into the ice bin to block the decrease of cooling efficiency. A refrigerator includes a refrigerating compartment(3) mounted with a door, a freezing compartment(5) provided at a lower side of the refrigerating compartment, and an ice making chamber(6) provided in the refrigerating compartment to be communicated with the freezing compartment and mounted with a cover(7) for opening or closing the same. An ice bin(30) is mounted in the ice making chamber and has a bottom surface inclined. An opening/closing element(60) is mounted to the cover of the ice making chamber for preventing leakage of chilled air from the ice making chamber when the door of the refrigerating compartment is opened. An ice discharge element(50) is mounted to the door of the refrigerating compartment, wherein ice is transferred from the ice bin to the ice discharge element via a guide path(7a) formed in the cover of the ice making chamber.
