A dispenser apparatus for a refrigerator using a fluid path conversion valve is provided to reduce manufacturing costs and processes by simplifying structure of the fluid path conversion valve, and reduce power consumption by operating only one solenoid portion. A dispenser apparatus for a refrigerator using a fluid path conversion valve comprises a filter(3), a fluid path conversion valve(4), a purified water reservoir, an ice maker and a dispenser main body. The filter filters foreign matters from original water and produces purified water. The fluid path conversion valve is consisted of a case(14) having a suction port for suctioning the purified water and first and second discharge port, a solenoid portion(15,16) for opening/closing the first discharge port, and a linking portion for opening/closing the second discharge port. The purified water reservoir stores the purified water received from a first fluid path. The ice maker receives the purified water from a second fluid path, and makes ice. The dispenser main body discharges the purified water stored in the purified water reservoir through a purified water cock or receives ice from the ice maker and discharges the ice.
