PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator superior in safety by operating an announcing means when a refrigerant leaks, and rousing user operation for opening a door in the refrigerator using the combustible refrigerant. SOLUTION: This refrigerator has a refrigerating cycle for sealing the combustible refrigerant by successively connecting a compressor 11, a condenser 14, and orifice mechanism 15, an evaporator 16, and an accumulator 17, a detecting means 29 for detecting the refrigerant leaked or previously detecting the refrigerant to be leaked, and the announcing means 27 for announcing a user that the refrigerant has leaked or the refrigerant may leak when this detecting means detects the refrigerant leaked or previously detects the refrigerant to be leaked. When the announcing means 27 operates, the announcing means 27 is stopped by opening the door. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
