PURPOSE: A refrigerator is provided to prevent water in defrosting from an inlet connecting pipe and an outlet connecting pipe coupled to an evaporator from flowing into a storage chamber by extending the connection portion of the evaporator upward and mounting the thermal insulating member except for the upward extension parts. CONSTITUTION: A refrigerator is composed of an evaporator(20), a defrost water pan(40) installed in the lower part of the evaporator, and an inlet connecting pipe(24) and an outlet connecting pipe(25) coupled to the evaporator for circulating refrigerant to the evaporator. Upward extension parts(24a,25a) are formed in the connection portion of two connecting pipes coupled to the evaporator, and extended upward. The connecting pipes except for the upward extension parts are covered with a thermal insulating member(26) to restrict frost. Defrost water is dropped on the defrost water pan in flowing water down from the upward extension parts in defrosting.
