PCT No. PCT/KR96/00116 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 9, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 9, 1998 PCT Filed Jul. 24, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/05436 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 13, 1997A refrigerator has a cold water storage vessel mounted on an interior side of a door of the refrigerator. The vessel has a valve for opening and closing a water outlet thereof. A manually actuable lever mounted on the door is actuable by a user to discharge water. By actuating the lever, a magnetic force causes the valve to open. The magnetic force can be imposed by a first permanent magnet which is caused to approach a second permanent magnet disposed on the valve to repel the second magnet and thereby open the valve. Alternatively, a permanent magnet disposed on the valve can be repelled by a magnetic force of a stationary electromagnet which is energized by actuation of the lever.
