<p>The present invention relates to a refrigerator. The present invention is configured such that an ice maker ( 50), a dispenser (60) and the other related components are installed to a refrigerator door 40 that opens and closes a storage space (33) of a main body (32) of the refrigerator, of which walls are formed of insulating layers (31). A water supply tube (80) is provided in the door (40) to pass through a lower hinge (47) and extend through the door so that water can be supplied to a filter (70) in a filter chamber (71) defined within the door (40). The water purified in the filter (70) is supplied through a valve (75) to the ice maker (50) and dispenser (60). The filter chamber (71) is configured to be opened and closed by a service door( 72) so that a user can more easily exchange the filter (70). The service door (72) is provided in front of the door (40). According to the present invention constructed as such, since the ice maker (50), the dispenser (60) and the related components are integrated within the door (40), the storage space (33) defined by the main body (32) of the refrigerator can be further increased. In addition, a function of the refrigerator can also be improved by merely exchanging the door (40) rather than the whole refrigerator.</p> |
